GNOTUM, 



CHALK'S EARLY JEWEL TOMATO. 



At Panmure I have given this variety a thor- 

 ough test. I find it is not to be classed with 

 Earliest ot All or Earliana. It matured with us 

 about the same time as Success, and while it is a 

 smooth and productive sort should be classed 

 with the second eariy varieties. The seed I offer 

 was carefully grown at Panmure, from stock ob- 

 tained at a high price direct from the introducer. 

 Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; % lb., $1.85; lb., $4.00. 



THE MATCHLESS TOMATO. 



This great tomato is well named. The illustra- 

 tion gives a fair idea of its size and smoothness. 

 The color is a rich, cardinal red. The skin is so 

 tough that it is a splendid keeper and shipper, and 

 is less liable to crack in wet weather than any 

 other large. tomato. Unsurpassed for market or 

 for table. The plant is a strong grower, and is 

 very productive. The fruit is free from core, and 

 the seed spaces are small. The leaves are of a 

 rich, dark green color, and very luxnriant, indi- 

 cating great vigor, and giving the plant ability to 

 produce fruit of the largest size throughout the 

 entire season. It stands at the front as a large, 

 bright red, main crop sort, and I can safely high- 

 ly recommend it to all my friends, and especially 

 to those who are running market gardens. Pitt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; % lb., $1.25; lb., $4.00. 



PONDEROSi.- One of the largest and heavi- 

 est tomatoes grown. Color a glowing crimson. 

 Skin smooth. Shape quite regular, considering 

 size. A fine table and market sort. Packet, 

 10 cts.: ounce, 40 cts.; ' .,' pound, $1.25.
