THE MATCHLESS TOMATO. © 
This great tomato is well named. The illustra- 
‘ion gives a fair idea of its size and smoothness. 
Che color is a rich, cardinal red. The skin is so

's less liable to crack in wet weather than any 
Unsurpassed for market or 
The plant is a strong grower, and is 
very productive. The fruit is free from core, and 
The leaves are of a 
‘ich, dark green color, and very luxuriant, indi- 
tating great vigor, and giving the plant ability to 
oroduce fruit of the largest size throughout the 
It stands at the front as a large,

y recommend it to all my friends, and especially 
are running market gardens.

It is among the earliest of the 
large, deep red, smooth varie- 
ties. In New Jersey it is grown 
quite largely as a second early. 
Its fine, smooth form and good

DWARF STONE. — This 
excellent strain of the Stone 
Tomato is claimed to be more 
productive and larger fruited 
than the old Stone. In fact, it 
is about the largest of all the 
dwarf or bush tomatoes, aver- 
aging, at times, 4 inches in 
diameter and 2% inches in 
depth, stem to blossom end.

should be classed with the 
second early varieties. The

obtained at a high price direct 
from the introducer. Pkt., 10c.;

Few people have any idea of the time and labor consumed 
in preparing this Seed Book. In fact, I was surprised 
myself Jast March to receive the following unsolicited 
letter from my printers; but the calculation interested me 
so much that I thought it would also prove of interest to 
my friends, and here it is—
