Cream City. 



CREAM CITY T05IAT0. The First Largre Tomato to Ripen. 

 Remarkably Prollfie. Flesh Thick and Solid. 



A variety of exceptional merit, coming into use as early as 

 Early Ruby and other small and unshapely extra early sorts. 

 It is perfectly smooth and sjTnmetrical in shape, and as large 

 aa Perfection. The plants are strong and vigorous, bearing 

 an abundance of large, smooth fruit of a beautiful purplish 

 crimson color. The flesh is remarkably thick, firm and solid, 

 and of very fine quality with very few seeds. It is an excel- 

 lent shipper. Does not crack or rot, as is the case with 

 many of the old sorts.

 for the market gardener and trucker, and is unsur- 

 passed for canning purposes. Pkt. 5c; y> oz. 2oc; 1 

 oz. 40c; 2 oz. 75c; % lb. $1.25; 1 lb $3.50

 riety. The fruits are purplish-pink in color, similar to

 smooth and uniform, with no tendency to crack around 

 the stem end. Vine vigorous, unsusceptible to blight 

 and very productive. Pkt. 5c; ^ oz. 25c; 1 oz. 40c; 

 2 oz. 75c; Vi lb. $1.25; 1 lb $3.50 



Earliana — Extra Selected. Of this favorite early sort, we

 riety is the earliest of all the large, smooth, bright red 

 sorts, is wonderfully prolific, and is a particularly 

 profitable Tomato for market gardeners and truckers.

 pion, but it is of stronger growth and more erect. The

 regular Stone, with the additional advantage of the 

 Dwarf Champion habit. Under ordinary field culture 

 this sort completely outclasses Dwarf Champion. Pkt.

 small, the flesh solid and of superior flavor, and the 

 form very regular considering its enormous size; color, 

 crimson-purple. Pkt. 10c; ^ oz. 25c; oz. 45c; % lb. 

 $1.35; 1 lb $4.75
