 FINE MIXED HYBRID TOMATO SEED — Something entirely new and unique. An 

 enthusiastic gardener has for several years past been crossing and reerossing all 

 sorts of the Tomato, both large and small, yellow, white and red, early and late. 

 E'very known variety has bee.i used — large, smooth, pear-shaped, plum-shaped, 

 currant, fig, peach, etc. The result is a most interesting mixture of all shapes, 

 color and sizes, from the very largest to the very smallest. The most interesting 

 and satisfactory to plant for the home garden. Everybody will be delighted 

 with the variety and quality of fruit produced. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c 

 NEW STRAWBERRY TOMATO, OR WINTER CHER- 

 RY — Sometimes called Ilusk Tomato and Ground 

 Cherry. Grows, enclosed in a husk, excellent lor 

 preserves; will keep within husk all winter; sweet- 

 tiavored, small, yellow fruits. This is well worth, 

 growing for preserves, both on account of its fiuei 

 quality and immense productiveness. The pretty' 

 bright yellow fruits also make a handsome dessert t 

 dish, while the flavor as fruit makes them popular. 

 Ten plants in our trial grounds yielded a bushel of 

 the small fruits. It is much earlier and every way 

 better than a similar variety advertised as a 

 novelty under the name of Cape Gooseberry. i"kt.

STRAWBERRY TOMATO. 



THE NEW STONE— BUCKBEE'S IMPROVED STRAIN 

 — The Tomato for a Main Crop — Choicest seed We 



call this the king of the Livingston kinds, which are the best types of large 

 smooth, solid ••beefy tomatoes If asked to select one main crop, market sort 

 we advise this Color n.ie scarlet, stem (calyx) set high, core small and shallow 

 so that but little is lost when it is taken out of the fruit before slicing We 

 want to make what we say of his kind definite, because there are verv many good 

 kinds and a long list is confusmg. If in doubt, buy the New Stone for market or 



home use for that matter. Pkt. 3c; oz, 16c; 2 oz
