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

 Every known variety has been used — large, smooth, pear-shaped, plum-shaped, 

 currant, fig, peach, etc. The result 1? a most interesting mixture of all shapes, 

 color and sizes, from the verv 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 o£ fruit produced, rat, 5c; oz. 25c 

 NEW STRAWBERRY TOMATO, OR WINTER CHER- 

 RY — Sometimes called Hus-k Tomato and Ground 

 Cherry^ Grows enclosed in a husk, excellent ror 

 preserves; will keep within husk all winter; sweet- 

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

 growing for preserves, both on account of its fines 

 quality and immense productiveness. The pretty ' 

 bright yellow fruits also make a handsome dessert f 

 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. .rkt.
