COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



New Tomato ''Honor Bright'' 



Honor Bright Tomato 



The vines are vigorous and bear profusely 

 from early to late in the season. The color of 

 the fruit, when fully ripe, is a rich, bright 

 red, but before reaching this stage it under- 

 goes several changes. First it is light green, 

 then waxy white, then lemon, changing to 

 red. One of the most attractive and hand- 

 some varieties grown, and well adapted for 

 home use and market; on account of its solid- 

 ity 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 ripening, and will keep from one to 

 four weeks if stored in a cool place. Th*- 

 skin seems to be crack-proof, even after heavy 

 i-ains. The clusters bear three to five large, 

 symmetrical fruits on hard, woody stems, the 

 fruit ripening very evenly from the blossoms 

 end to the stem. Its table qualities are ex- 

 cellent, the flesh, when fully ripe, being ten- 

 der and melting. Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 20 cts., Vi lb. 65 cts. 



Combination Tomato 



Of this new variety, Mr. Burpee, the intro- 

 ducer, says: "A splendid sort for home use, 

 market, or canning. Of strong, vigorous growth 

 and very fruitful. In color the skin is of the 

 brightest shining scarlet; size is medium to 

 large, round, smooth and free from cracks. The 

 flesh is very solid and the seed cells quite 

 small. The flavor is very flne and quite 

 sweet. The vines mature the first fruits fairly 

 early and continue bearing fine Tomatoes until 

 cut down by frost. Special mention should be 

 made of the long keeping qualities of this To- 

 mato, as there are very few that have rotted 

 after standing nearly four weeks." We were 

 well pleased with this variety in our trial 

 grounds the first year. Price per pkt. 5 cts., ot. 

 25 cts., 14 lb. 75 cts. 



Enormous Tomato 



This grand new Tomato proves to be all 

 that was claimed for it. It is enormous in 

 size, and the peer of all varieties in every 

 characteristic that go to make a first-class 

 tomato. Without exception the Enormous is 

 bound to lead all other sorts, after better ac- 

 quaintance, and if it develops no weak point? 

 later on. It is not early, but simply the best 

 main crop tomato ever put on the market, 

 and. whether grown in a private or market 

 garden, is bound to receive tin^tinted praise 

 from everyone. With select specimens it taket 

 but eight to fill out a yard; this moans, of 

 course, that the tomatoes must average 

 inches in diameter. The tomatoes are very 

 smooth, solid meated. good keepers, and are 

 every way of excellent quality. A heavy 

 cropper. Price per pkt. 10 cts., 2 pkts. 16 

 cts., oz. 25 cts., hi lb. 76 cts.
