 reaching this stage it undergoes several in- 

 teresting changes. First it is light green, 

 then an attractive waxy white, then 

 lemon, changing to i*ed. One of the most 

 attractive ana handsome varieties grown, 

 arid well adapted for home use and market: 

 on account of its solidity and long-keeping 

 qualities, it is especially recommended for 

 shipping. It can be shipped in barrels, like 

 apples, if picked in the early stage of ripen-

 tion, and will be surprised at its distinctness from all other known sorts.

THORBURN 



New York Tomato. 



A new and entirely distinct variety, discov- 

 ered four years ago in a field of the Acme To- 

 mato. After three years of careful culture it 

 has retained urilfcrmJy its distinctive feat- 

 ures, and we have every reason to consider 

 the type perfectly fixed. It dilfers in form 

 from all other Tomatoes and being unusually 

 deep. In color it is deep red. with a purplish 

 tinge, and altogether it Is as handsome as it 

 is unique. In size it averages a little larger 

 than the Acme; the flesh is very solid, and of 

 mild, agreeable flavor. It is exti-a early in 

 ripening, a vigorous grower and a great 

 yielder. Itis excellently adapted for canning 

 purposes, and its extremely long-keeping 

 qualities and thick, smooth skin make it a 

 valuable shipping variety. Price per pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 25 cts. 



THORBURN NEW YORK TOMATO. 



NEW INPERIAJL TOMATO. 



N6W Imperial Tomato. 



This new variety comes highly endorsed. 

 Mr. Halladay, of Vermont, its originator, 

 claims it the peer of every known variety, 

 early or late, being the earliest of all large, 

 smooth tomatoes, solid, heavy and the most 

 productive variety in the world. In his trials 

 of ail the leading varieties so-called best 

 and earliest, this new tomato has always 

 come out ahead about a weeK In rtpeuing. 

 That it will produce more and better fruit 

 than any variety known. It will not only 

 produce the earliest, but will hold out all 

 through the season until killed by frost. It 

 also proves one of the longest keepers. If It 

 does as well elsewhere as it has on the- 

 grounds of its originator it is an acquisi- 

 tion, and every gardener will make a mis- 

 take not to include a package of this variety 

 in their order.
