ATLANTIC PRIZE. 



THE VERY EAELIEST OF ALI. TOMATOES. 



This tomato ripens ahead of all otiiers. Itisthe result of many years' careful selection by one of the most successful 

 tomato growers of Atlantic County, New Jersey. The vines grow strong, stift' anfi very rapidly, setting the crown fruit 

 when quite young, the buds appearing before the plant is four inches high. The fruit is borne in immense clusters. Eacii 

 vine produces from^ sixty to eighty large, perfect tomatoes, very solid and of the finest quality, being unusually free from 

 core and seeds. Another great feature, besides extreme earliness, and one which must prove of great advantage to all 

 tomato growers and market gardeners, is that when first fruiting it ripens more evenly and abundantly than any other tomato 

 grown. It is by far the most valuable first early market variety ever introduced. Pkt., lOo.; oz., 30c.; J4 lb., 80c.; lb., $3.00. 



THE BRANDYWINE TOMATO. 



Nothing we have ever introduced has excited so much comment as this magnificent tomato. It has brought us in 

 hundreds of unsolicited testimonials from customers who all agree in pronouncing it one of the most productive, continuous 

 in bearing, and attractive in both color and form. 



It is unquestionably one of the very best second early and late tomatoes, owing to its large size, beautiful bright red skin, 

 uniformly smooth and handsome appearance, and great productiveness. 



Withtwo such liandsonie varieties as the Atlantic Prize for early and the Brandywine f€>r second early and l»te, 

 no private or market gardener could fail to have a bountiful supply of most delicious tomatoes the entire season. Pkt., lOc; 

 02S., 30c.; M !•>., 80c.; lb., 83.00. 



EARLY MARKET CHAMPION TOMATO. 



This valuable tomato originated with a prominent Philadelphia market gardener, who has for many years made the 

 selection and improvement of the tomato a specially. He has always had extremely fine, large tomatoes in the market very 

 early and realizing handsome prices for his crop. His aim has always been to combine earliness with large size and 

 perfect, .smooth shape. There is no other purple tomato cultivated that will ripen so early or produce more bushels of 

 large, handsome fruit to the acre than the Market Champion. Pkt., lOc; oz., 85c.; 34 lt>., 70c.; lb., S2.75. 



THE CUMBERLAND RED TOMATO. 



This magnificent tomato has met with very large sale in all sections of the country. Many pronounce it the best tomato 

 they have ever grown. It originated a few years ago in Cumberland County New Jersey, where a few truckers have grown it 

 and made very large profits, from the fact tliat it hasalways commanded very high prices (n Philadelphiamarkets ; and it was 

 only after great persuasion and at high cost that we were able to obtain from the originator a few ounces of his selected 

 stock seedto grow from. The vines grow vigorously and produce abundantly until killed by frost. Foliage a very dark 

 green. The skin is remarkably lough, and the tomatoes keep a long time after being pulled, making them an excellent 

 market and shipping variety. Pkt., lOc; oz ,30c.; Hlh., 80c.; lb., S3.00.
