JUNE PINK TOMATO 



Another Great Mouej-Maker in a Distinct Class 



Our wonderful success as the Introducers of the Sparks' Earliana tomato 

 INTRODUCTORY and the actual revolution which that variety wrought in all places where early 

 tomatoes are required, induced us to be on the lookout for a pink variety of 

 tomato, which would take the place of the red Earliana in markets where a pink-colored fruit is more in 

 favor. In the June Pink tomato we have found what we have been looking for, as it is a true pink strain 

 of Earliana blood. 



The June Pink Tomato in habit of growth is similar to the Earliana. The 

 DESCRIPTION plant is neat and compact, branching freely, with fruit hanging in clusters of six to 

 ten fruits both in the crown and at the forks of the branches. Under exactly the 

 same conditions as given Sparks' Earliana and Chalk's Jewel, the June Pink yielded as much fruit as 

 either, and the vines after the crop had been harvested were greener and brighter, and showed no 

 tendency to blight. It ripens fully as early as the Sparks' Earliana and quite ten days to two weeks 

 ahead of Chalk's Early Jewel. 



The fruit is of medium size, uniform, smooth, and attractively shaped, without cracks or any green 

 core. The fruit will average 2| to 3 inches in diameter, and from 2 to 2^ inches in depth. The skin is 

 reasonably tough so that it is excellent for shipping purposes. 



In color, it is a bright pleasing pink, and in markets where a pink tomato is desired will bring 25 

 per cent, more in price than any red variety. It has the further quality, making it especially desirable 

 for private use, of continuing to l)ear and ripen fruit up until frost. 



In offering the June Pink Tomato, we do so with every confidence that it will at once take the 

 unique position in pink varieties which the Earliana now holds over the whole country in the red sorts.

.John Maloney, a large tomato grower of New Jersey, writes us on October 16,1905: " I would say that your June Pink 

 Tomato is the only pink tomato I ever found profitable for me, although I have tried many other varieties. I picked June 

 Pinks the past season just as early as Sparks' Earliana, and they yielded equally as well, and sold for considerably more in 

 market. I shall continue to raise this variety rather than any other Pinks."
