THE NEW STONE— BTJCKBEE'S IMPROVED STRAIN 

 — The Tomato for a Main Crop^Choicest seed. 1 

 call this the king of the Livingston kinds, which are the 

 best type of large, smooth, solid, "beefy" Tomatoes. 

 If asked to select one main crop market sort we advise 

 this. Color fine scarlet, stem set high, core small and 

 shallow, so that little is lost when it is taken out of the 

 fruit before slicing. If in doubt, buy the New Stone 

 for market or home use. Pkt. 3c; 02. 16c; 2 OZ.

 orous, and heavy bearers; 

 fruit large, uniform, very 

 11 smooth, color purphsh 

 pink, flesh light pink, ex-

NEW STRAWBERRY 

 TOMATO, or WIN- 

 TER CHERRY — Some- 

 times called Husk 

 Tomato and Ground Cherry. Grows in a husk; excellent for preserves; 

 will keep, within husk all Winter; sweet-flavored, small, yellow fruits. 

 Make a handsome dessert dish, while the flavor makes them popular. Ten 

 plants in our trial grounds yielded a bushel of fruit. Much earlier and 

 every way better than a similar variety advertised as a novelty under 

 the name of Cape Gooseberry. Pkt. 4c; oz. 25c.
