FLORA FREED TOMATO. 



A most valuable neic variety — superior to any other Tomato yet introduced — excels in form, quality, earli- 

 ness aiid producticeness. The Flora Freed has been produced by most careful selection and culture, always 

 With the object in view of obtaining a tomato that was perfection in itself. 



Another season's trial of this grand variety has more fully con winced me that it is the Tomato for the million. 

 If I were to grow but oue variety that one would be Flora Freed. My custotaers also seem to fully concur 

 with me in regard to its excellency and superior merits. Hundreds of testimonials have been received, ail loud in 

 its praise. Flora Freed will, without doubt, become one of the most popular Tomatoes ever introduced. 



It is a round, cushioned-shaped variety, large sized and very uniform m shape — by far the best in quality of 

 any tomato we have ever seen, being rich, sweet, 'vith small seed cavities and very few seeds — the heaviest of all 

 tomatoes, for its size, in cultivation : color brilliant crimson : ripens perfectly to the stem and is very handsome 

 in appearance. It is among the earliest to ripen, very productive, a good keeper and an excellent shipper.

All seeds boueht of you last spring were very satisfactory, 

 especially the Flora Freed tomato, it proved Itself superior to 

 any I ever raised before. For a number of years I have de- 

 pended upon the Rtd Trophy, tiying a new variety on a 

 small scale which I did last year. I made one hundred hills 

 just alike, or three rows of thirty-three hills in each row. Set 

 plants at the same time from sei-d sown by myself, cultivated 

 just alike. Th-' Flora Freed was ei^ht to ten days rhe earliest 

 and the one row of thirtv-three hills of Flora Freed bore nearly 

 as much fruit as the o:her two rows together of the other 

 kind of seed, and the fruit was much larger and o' better qual- 

 ity. Expect to plant more of it this year. W. J. Xewmax.

I received the seeds ordered all O. K. and am very much 

 pleased with them: all that I planted came up. I am well 

 pleas-d with the Flora Freed tomato; we raised some that 

 weighed as high as one pound and a half. Mv neighbors 

 thought them the largest they had ever seen. I will want 

 more seeds In the spring. Wm. Uxkart. 



AFRICAN HORNED OR 



CLIMBING CUCUMBER. 



This odd and peculiar shaped cucumber certainly has 

 many fine qualities which make it a very novel as well 

 as desirable plant, especially for domestic pm-poses. 

 The growth, habit of the vine and formation of fruit 

 tend to make it one of the most interesting plants to 

 cultivate in the garden. It is a rapid grower, and will 

 climb to a considerable height on a trellis or screen, 

 or it may be allowed to trail on the ground. The fruit, 

 which is borne in profusion all sunmier, is a deep sea- 

 green color, but when ripe turns to an orange-scarlet. 

 TThen fully grown it is the size of a muskmelon. oblong, 

 and covered with protruding points or horns. For use 

 it should be taken before it is too old, like other 

 cucumbers. In quality it is simply luscious, having the 

 pure cucumber flavor in a degree of delicacy which is 

 sm'prisiug. flesh ver^- tender and melting. Try it, it 

 will please you. Pkt., lOe; 3 pkts. for 25c. 



YICK'S NEW HERO LETTUCE. 



After several years experimenting, this new and val- 

 uable variety has been bred up to the highest degree 

 of perfection.' At first there were only a few seeds 

 brought to this country by a German family from their 

 native land, and who for a long time jealously guarded 

 their crop, thereby controlling its market ] roduction. 



Vick's Hero soinewhat resembles the well known 

 Prize Head Lettuce in color. It is of large size, nicely 

 fringed, large leaved, crisp, tender and of a most deli- 

 cious flavor. Its peculiar, erect habit is a marked fea- 

 ture, and although being lar<Te in size, and heavy in 

 head, it does not break down and come in contact with 

 the soil. In addition to its many other good qualities 

 it is the longest standing (slowest to go to seed)" lettuce 

 in cultivation. Pkt, 10c; oz., 25c; X 75c.
