J- Beckert's Dwarf Champion. 



^.^fa-'Beckert's Dwarf Champion. Since we introduced this 

 r tomato, it has been grown in all sections ol the country, and 

 has given universal satisfaction. It is entirely distinct, in 

 type, from other sorts. The plant is dwarf in habit, stems 

 thick and short-jointed and stiff, and upright in growth; 

 foliage dark green, thick and corrugated. The fruit ripens 

 very early, is always smooth and symmetrical, and closely 

 resembles the Acme in form, size and color; has solid fipp>] I — 

 and tough skin. It will yield double the quantity of extra | fri 

 early fruit that can be obtained from any other sorts. It fully 

 equals the most productive sorts in yield, and will, owing to 

 the small space required between plants, yield more per a»re 

 than any other variety in cultivation. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c,
