JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA /jg] 

 J>^w 



For years we have made a careful study of prowing: the 

 very best tomato seed. All tomatoes sbowinp: the sUghte!st 

 variation from the standard type are rigidly discarded, thus 

 securing the purest possible seed. 



One ounce will produce about thirteen liumlred plants. 



QH/ILK'S EARLY JEWEL TOnATO 



Introduced last season asacompetitor of Sparks' Earliana 

 by another seedsman. After a thorough trial at Floracroft 

 and among our customers, we find it three weeks later and far 

 less productive than Earliana. We recommend it, however, 

 as a good second earlv. Pkt., lOc; oz., 45c.; J^ lb., SI. 25; 

 lb., S4.50. 



THE E/1RLT PIRD TOfl/ITO 



With the exception of Sparks' Earliana, this is the 

 earliest tomato. Notwithstanding its small to medium size, 

 many have written us they have found it a most profitable 

 variety to grow. Verv smooth, with pink skin. Pkt., 10c. ; 

 oz., 30c.; U 'b., 85c.; lb., S3.00. 



/ITL/JNTIC PRIZE T2n/5T2 



First introduced by us in 18S9. Thousands of acres are 

 now annually planted from Blaineto Texas. The vines grow 

 strong, stiff and very rapidly, setting the crown fruit when 

 very young. Each vine produces from sixty to eighty large, 

 perfect tomatoes. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 20c.; ^4 lb., COc; lb., $2.00. 



SAHTA R05/1 TOnATO

QVICK.SUBE — THE BEST SECOND E.\KLY TOMATO. 



THE QVIKKS^RE TSM/ITg 



With the advent of the Santa Rosa Tomato this year, we 

 claim to have introduced the three mo.st valuable tomatoes in 

 cultivation. With the Sparks' Earliana for first early, 

 Quicksure for second early and Santa Kosa (described 

 on page 11) for main crop, no grower need be without a 

 succession of magnificent tomatoes throughout the entire 

 season. The Quicksure, which we first introduced in 19C0, 

 was originated by Mr. Howard Euss, a well-known trucker 

 of Burlington County, N. J. Color bright red; very solid, 

 heavy and wonderfully prolific of very large, fine fruit. 

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



Qg.ARTER QENTVIRT TSM/ITS 



Originated by Dr. Van Fleet, horticultural editor of the 

 Sural Xetv YorJcer. It might be called an Improved Dwarf 

 Aristocrat, its erect bushy vines and fine red fruits closely 

 resembling that variety. It is very early and has proven a 

 valuable acquisition. Pkt., lOc; oz., 3oc.; 34 lb., Sl.OO; lb., 

 $3.50. 



THE n/ITQHLE5S TOMATO 



A great favorite for both market and family use. Pro- 

 duces uniformly large, brightred fruitthroughout the season.

 good condition for a week to 10 days after being taken from 

 the vine. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25o.; i^ lb., 75o.; lb., 82.50. 



STONE TOMATO, MOST POPfL.lK WITH TKUCKEES 

 AND CANNEBS. 



NEW STONE TOMATO 



This is deservedly the most popular main crop tomato 

 for market and canning, owing to its large si;^e and great 

 solidity. Wlien grown from properly selected seed the fruits- 

 are very uniform, smooth and of handsome bright scarlet 

 color. Flesh meaty and fine in flavor. Our strain is unsur- 

 passed. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; ^ lb., 50c.; lb., SI. 75, postpaid; by
