For years we have made a careful study of growing the 

 very best tomato seed. All tomatoes showing the .-lightest 

 variation from the standard type are rigidly discarded, thus 

 securing the purest possible seed. Our long experience and 

 great care enable us to furnish a prime ai tide of this im- 

 portant seed to niaiket gardeners, and to retain the patron- 

 age of all who deal with us. 



One ounce will produce about thirteen hundred plants.

ATLANTIC PRIZE TOMATO 



Since we first introduced our Atlantic Prize Tomato, in 

 1889, it has rapidly popularized itself, and has now become 

 the leading tirst early red tomato in cultivation. Thousands 

 of acres are now annually planted in this variety from Maine 

 to Texas. The vines grow strong, stifl'and very rapidly, setting 

 the crown fruit when quite young, the buds often appearing 

 before the plant is four inches high. Each vine produces 

 from sixty to eighty large perfect tomatoes, very solid and 

 of the finest qualify, being unusually free from core and 

 seeds. It is bv far the most valuable first earlv variety ever 

 introduced. Pkt , lOc; oz., 25c.; J4 lb., 75c.; lb., S2.50. 



THE GREAT B. B, (Brinton's Best). 



This tomato was originated by the late Thomas H. 

 Brinton, a veteran tomato specialist, who up to the time of 

 his death had tested morenew tomatoes than any other man in 

 the United States Since our introduction of it in 1893, it has 

 met with very large sale in all sections, and out of hundreds 

 of unsolicited testimonial letters received there is not one 

 who does not pi-i,nounce it "the very best main crop 

 tomato they have ever grown." The vines grow vigor- 

 ously and produce abundantly until killed by frost. They 

 attract great attention owing to their beautiful deep red color, 

 uniformly even large size and perfect, smooth shape. The 

 skin is remarkably tough and solid, so that ripe specimens 

 picked from the vine xcill keep in good marketable condition 

 for two weeks. Its fine quality and sol dity are unequalled.
