pe ‘The Enormous Tomato. (8 to the yard.) 
The Greatest of VF Ni eee fg 
Main Crop Tomatoes. 
Absolutely the Finest 
Large Tomato, 
Without Exception. 
The Enormous Tomato, 
bred by Mr. Miesse, was 
first introduced to the 
public in my catalogue 
for 1899, having been sent 
out the previous year in 
packets for trial, under the 
name‘ Hight to the Yard”’ 
It was a great success, 
great in every way, and it 
is even greater now than 
at the outset. Originally, 
8 to the yard, in 1899, a 
number of tomatoes were 
raised 7 to the yard, while 
Mr. Edward S. Smith, 
Groveport, O., reported in 
1901 6 tothe yard. Enor- 
mous, however, was not 
bred merely for bigness ; 
I also claim it is the best 
all round, main crop to- 
mato on the market, and 
only surpassed for ship- 
ping purposes by the 
““Suecess.’’ The name was 
selected from the fact that 
it seemed to apply better 
to this wonderful tomato 
than any other. The actual field 
tests of Enormous wherever made 
have always been satisfactory and 
highly significant; in comparative 
trials with other sorts, under ordi- 
nary conditions, Enormous has made 
a record for both quality and quan- 
tity, while the beauty of the fruit 
makes it an easy and quick seller 
in all markets. The fruit is remark- 
ably solid and firm; flesh is thick 
and heavy and there are but few 
seeds. In color, Enormous is a clean, | ZZ 
deep red with no purple tint or shad- MY) JES a 
ing. Everybody is pleased with it, ee 
both for domestic and shipping pur- | i ( ‘ 
poses. Private gardeners, market 
gardeners and my fellow seedsmen 
testify to the sterling merits of Enor- 
mous Tomato. At Briar Crest for five 
years, it has excited the admiration 
of all visitors. During a visit to the 
trial grounds at Fordhook Farms, 
where any number of. tomatoes are 
tried side by side every year, I had 
the satisfaction of being told that 
Enormous was not exceeded by any 
thing tried during 1899; practically 
the same statement reaches me from 
all directions. One correspondent S \\ SESS \ 
says it was free from rot where others ENGRAVED FROM A PHOTOGRAPH SENT BY W L. CORY, DUNREITH, IND.
