THE LORILARD.—This tomato, first offered in 
1889, is very early, very prolific, and possesses peculiar 
rot-resisting qualities, while its extreme solidity and hand- 
some appearance will commend it alike to shippers and 
market-gardeners. Oneof the very best for forcing under 
{ glass. Pkt., 5 cents; oz., 20 cents; 44 Ib.,60cts.; Ib., $2 00. 


RUBY.—In some sections of the country this has 
proved an excellent early sort, and a very satisfactory 
tomato to those desiring a large size tomato which coin- 
bines good form, color and solidity with extra earliness. 
Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 44 pound, 60 cts.: pound, $2.00. 
LONGKEEPER.—This new tomato of recent introduc- 
tion was originated by E. S. Carman, editor of ‘‘The Rural 
: New hot It is claimed by ae originator to combine long- 
= seeping qualities, uniform shape, earliness in ripening, as well as

early, and is everbearing until the vines are 
killed by trost, and it takes a pretty sharp 
frost or two before the vines are 
injured, so protected are they 
wi by the heavy foliage. Has 
@ strong vine and resists wind 
4 remarkably well. Has the 
Acme color, and very pro- 
lific. Leaf resembles the 
Turner Hybrid, hence 
its name, but while

smoother. Packet,

NEW DWARF CHAMPION.— 
Dwarf Champion possesses two qualities that 
are bound to recommend it to all growers 
of Tomatoes, whether for market or private 
use ; one of these consists of that wonder- 
ful qualification that even when laden 
with fruit it is actually self-support- 
ing, its thick, stiffand short-jointed stems 
holding the fruit from the ground when 
loaded with Tomatoes. The second point 
that particularly recommends Dwarf 
Champion is its earliness, it haying no 
superior in this respect, excepting Earliest 
and Advance. As its fruit is much larger 
than the latter variety, it will no doubt 
prove more profitable as an early market 
crop than this heretofore popular extra 
early sort. The above two points arestrong 
in themselves, but there are others in ad- 
dition that should recommend Dwarf 
Champion to every reader of this catalogue, 
Its close, upright growth enables it to be 
planted closer than any other sort, conse- 
uently it bids fair to surpass in produc- 
tiveness every other variety, asa half-bushel 
of full-grown Tomatoes can frequently be 
seen on a single vine. In shape it is of 
o medium size,the fruit resembling the Acme, 
- being ofa purplish pink color, and always

smooth and symmetrical in form. The 
flesh issolid ani of superior quality, while 
on account of its tough skin, it will bear 
transportation much better than many 
other varieties. Itsdwarf, compact growth, 
Sb ee appearance, earliness in ripen- 
ing, and above all, that great quality of 
self supporting its fruit, will cause Dwarf 
Champion to prove one of the most 
popular varieties ever introduced.
