 Descrite Six Very Fine 

 Strains of Tomato 



We have a wholesome confidence in all the seed we sell, but we are free to admit that 

 our work on Tomato seed has shown the most marked advances. Our modest success in 

 this direction has been greatly enhanced by the friendly word which has been passed among 

 the growers* fraternity. Without this we would have had much slower going, for the dis- 

 couragements of seed-improvement work are very considerable — therefore this grateful 

 acknowledgment. 



Our Tomato-seed work has been simphfied, so that at present the fist contains only six 

 strains. As compared to the usual seedsman's fist, ours may appear inadequate. However, 

 we prefer to concentrate our efforts; this is our estabhshed pohcy with everything. We, 

 of course, reahze that our Hst does not cover the entire field, but we stand or fall by it, know- 

 ing that other conditions and requirements are well met by worthy competitors. 



The names Earliaria and Bonny Best, originally our ov/n, quite naturally are now uni- 

 versal. Greater Baltimore, a variety not of our naming, is also to be had from many sources. 

 Let us make this suggestion — if you buy any of these, be sure the name is properly endorsed, 

 for it is the strain and the blood of the strain that count. 



Before buying any Tomato seed from us, carefully read the descriptions and choose those 

 that best fit your requirements. You will find the two Super-Standard strains to be very 

 superior in every way, in fact, great money-makers if given a reasonable chance. You will 

 also find that the standard strains will do what we claim for them. Our sales of these for 

 canning-house production are amazingly heavy. Net profit at the season's close is the basis 

 of judgment. We are here to help you earn it. — F. C. S.
