New Tomato No. 75, The Liberty Bell 



For many years we 

 have paid the closest at- 

 tention to Tomatoes 

 with the result that 

 many of the most popu- 

 lar varieties now in cul- 

 tivation were first intro- 

 duced by us. When we 

 first offered, some years 

 ago, the now famous 

 Atlantic Prize and 

 Market Champion, we 

 supposed perfection had 

 at last been reached in 

 Extra Early Tomatoes, 

 but from our own tests 

 for the past three years, 

 and the unqualiiied en- 

 dorsements of hundreds 

 of customers, to whom 

 we distributed free trial 

 packets, labelled No. 75, 

 last season, we believe 

 we have in the New No. 

 75 the most valuable 

 Tomato ever introduced 



I'HOTOGUAPH OK THE NEW LIBERTY BELI, TOMATO, 



to the American public. We value this New Tomato so highly 

 that we have named it in honor of the old Liberty Bell, whose 

 tones one hundred and seventeen years ago rang out the creation 

 of a nation and the independence of a continent. There is not 

 money enough in the world to buy from the people of Philadelphia 

 this sacred relic of the country's liberty, and with the citizens of the 

 nation at their backs there is no army in the world that could wrest 

 it from them. The old Liberty Bell, of which we show an excellent 

 photograph, proved one of the greatest attractions at the World's 

 Fair, and was no doubt seen by thousands of our customers who 

 visited Chicago. This old bell, in its triumphal journey between 

 Philadelphia and Chicago, received an ovation such as has never 

 been accorded monarch or man. 



To return to our New Tomato, Liberty Bell, we refer you 

 to the few sample testimonials printed below. We have hundreds 

 of similar ones on file in our ofiice, and regret our limited space 

 forbids their publication.

Waiter Quadltng, Cedarville, N. J.. Sept. 22, 189S, 

 writes: "For the last twelve years I have raised tomatoes 

 for market on from four to nine acres each season, and never 

 have I seen anything to equal this new variety. No. 7.5 

 (Liberty Bell), in productiveness and all other qualities. I 

 think so well of them that my next season's raising will be 

 entirely of this kind." 



A. MiT-LER, Albion, N. Y., Aug, 24, 1893, writes: "Your 

 Tomato, No. 75 (Liberty Bell), was the earliest and by far the 

 beat cropper of tweU'e newvarieties I tried this season. It is 

 large, smooth and ripens well up to the stem. All these 

 good results, notwithstanding the extreme drought here for 

 the past three months." 



Benjamin Pearson, Piper City, Ills., Sept. 16. 1893. 

 writes: "The best tomato we grew this season lias by all 

 odds been your New No. 75 (Liberty Bell). The vines grew 

 strongly and were loaded with the finest fruit we ever saw ; 

 beautiful red color, plump, very solid and of better flavor 

 than any other variety grown here."

A. H. Van Norman, W.iterford, Mich.. Aug. .SO, 1893, 

 writes : " I found the New Tomato, No. 75 (Liberty Bell), the 

 earliest and best of all the varieties that I ever planted. It is 

 smooth, fine flavored and first-class in every respect." 



Erwin CHTJRcrr, Mitchell, Mich., Sept. 14. 1893, writes: 

 "The New No. 75 (Liberty Bell), is worthy of beinr classed at 

 the head of the list of 'Tomatoes. It ripened with tht Atlantic 

 Prize, is larger, very smooth, fine and solid." 



.1. M. EdsaLl. Ocklawaha. Fla., Aug. 28, 1893, writes: 

 "The No. 75 (Liberty Bell), ripened before the Atlantic Prize 

 and is a more thrifty grower; it does not curl its leaves as 

 much and is a longer keeper. I think them the most desir- 

 able Tomato for the South, being well adapted to our hot 

 climate. I am now planting them again for my fall crop." 



Jas. XTpdegraff, Irwin, Pa,, Nov. 14, 1893, writes: "The 

 new Tomato, No. 75 (Liberty Bell), are the finest. I sent a 

 cumber of plants to different growers around here, whohave 

 given them a fair trial, and they all pronounce them the 

 earliest, best and largest tomatoes ever seen in these parts."
