Nothing I have ever introduced has excited so much comment as this 
magnificent tomato. It is unquestionably one of the largest, most 
solidand most productive tomatoes grown. They ripenvery early, 
evenly up to the stem, are free of all core, and in flavor surpass anything 
you ever tasted, especially when eaten raw. Skin thin, but so tough tha 
they will keep longer in good condition than any other. Color, a richn, un- 
surpassed red. A strong, vigorous grower, its foliage differs from all others, 
leaves being entire and not cut. In enormous productiveness it leads 
all. Over 60,000 gardeners, the last six seasons, pronounced it the most re- 
markable tomato they had ever seen. In 1886, hearing of just half ounce of 
Seed taken from selected specimens of the Turner Hybrid, I paid $50 for 
it, or at the rate of $1600 pet Ib. The seed raised from the $1600 
stock can only be obtained from me and from no other source. The $100 
premium in 1890 was secured by I. S. Davis, Daisy, N. C., witha mammoth 
tomato, the largest raised. Such a tomato 
I am sure was never raised before. If you 
wish to surprise your neighbors with finer, 
larger and more delicious tomatoes 
than you have ever seen, you must sow 
this $1600 strain of Turner Hybrid. Packet, 
10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 44 pound, $1.00; 
pound, 33.00, 















































ter Maule’s Earliest of All. If you sow Advance, you will 
have, with favorable weather, fine tomatoes in 90 
days from sowing of the seed. <A cross between 
Alpha and Perfection, it surpasses the former 
in early ripening qualities, and equals the 
latter in beautiful form and productive- 
ness. It is an excellent shipper, being 
exempt from rot or cracking, ripens all 
\\ Over at once, and is wonderfully 
\\, smooth, none smoother. Packet, 10 
\ cts.; ounce, 25 cts.; 14 lb., 75 cts. 
\ BEAUTY.—Stands at the head of 
Mr. Livingston’s introductions. It 
grows in clusters of 4 or 5 large fruits. 
Color, a rich, glossy crimson. For 
shipping and early market, it cannot 
be excelled for solidity, toughness of 
skin, and especially on account of 
color, as it can be picked when quite 
green, and will ripen up nicely. Pkt., 
5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 14 1b., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 
OPTIMUS.—Highly spoken of oy 
many experienced growers. Smooth, 
good color, excellent shipper. Pkt.,5 
cts.; 0z., 20 cts.: 4 lb., 60 cts.; 1b., $2.00.

cally the same as Paragon. Pkt.,

rich flavor, perfectly smooth, large size, very productive. Ripens all over alike; 
flesh is very Ws
