This fine new early variety introduced by Mr. Bur-

 are always smooth and handsome, of a rich ruby-red 

 color, with but few seeds and delicious flavor. It has 

 a tough skin not easily broken. The fruit is borne in 

 clusters of three or four, at every joint, and as the joints

 plant resembles that of a potato, in fact, it might be 

 called the Potato Leaf JBush Tomato. It is so compact 

 and erect in growth that no stakes are required and can 

 be planted a third closer than the common varieties.

 productiveness it has no equal.

EARLY FREEDOM TOMATO. 



EARLY FREEDOM TOMATO. 



This new extra early tomato proved to be 

 such a fine variety in our trials, think we 

 feel safe in adding it to our already long 

 list of tomatoes. Peter Henderson & Co., 

 the introducers, says ; Its value, lies not only 

 in the actual time of ripening its first fruits, 

 but that such enormous quantities of fruit 

 can be gathered while all other so-called 

 ''Earliest" are ripening only a few. By 

 actual tests from a given number of plants, 

 planted at the same time it has yielded from 

 one-third to one-half more fruits. This in- 

 dicates clearly its great and prolific ear- 

 liness, and this, combined with its smooth, 

 handsome appearance, renders it one of the 

 best early sorts. The plant is medium in 

 size. The fruit is borne mainly in clusters,, 

 perfectly round, of a bright dazzling scarlet 

 color. The flesh is solid, having but few 

 seeds. The flavor is perfect, absolutely free- 

 from any acidity. Keeps bearing fruit till 

 late in the season.
