JOHN BAER TOMATO 
(See Colored Plate opposite) 
This variety has been offered as the earliest Tomato for 
home and commercial use, and in our trials we found it to 
mature about the same time as Spark’s Earliana, which 
variety it resembles in size, shape and color. The vines 
do not grow very large, but are productive, bearing the 
fruits in clusters and abundantly, The Tomatoes are ofa 
medium size, nearly round in shape, scarlet color and are 
of excellent flavor. On account of the large yield, desir- 
able size and shape, this variety is suited both for early 
market and home use. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 0z., 30 cts.; oz, 
50 cts.; $ lb., $1.50. For Plants, see page 211. 
IDEAL YELLOW GLOBE 
ONION 
An exceedingly handsome large yellow Onion: Its gen- 
eral characteristics stamp it as the best-main crop variety 
of its type, and we are pleased to offer it, feeling sure that 
it will fully satisfy all who desire to grow large Onions 
from seed. The bulbs are true globe-shape, with skin of 
a pleasing yellow color, flesh white and of a mild flavor. 
It is not the ordinary Southport Yellow Globe, but is far 
superior, much more productive, and we especially recom- 
mend it for planting in the home garden. Pkt., 10 cts.5 
oz., 40 cts.; £1b., $1.10; Ib., $4.00. 
MARKET SURPRISE PEA 
This variety was sent to us by a leading seed grower in 
England, and in a careful test, made at our trial grounds, 
we found it to be a valuable addition to the early varieties 
and well adapted for the use of both amateurs and market 
gardeners. The plant grows toa height of 30 inches, 
and is very thrifty, producing pods in large quantities, 
Pods are large and well filled with Peas, which are re- 
markably sweet and fine flavored. It matures the crop in 
about sixty-five days, and is excellent for early planting.
