TOMATO— Continued 



M B7*RL-Y RUBY," 



The great value of thi9 variety lies in the fact that it is 



\>y far the earliest of all the large-sized Tomatoes which 



combine good form, color and solidity and it is certain 



to prove the leading market variety. The peculiar 



open habitofthe plant, as shown by the cut, is a 



distinctive feature of this variety, and is the 



reason why it is earlier than any other 



variety, the sun having a better chance 



to reach and ripen the fruit than in more 



■upright and compact Varieties. (See j
