Having tested at one time or an- 

 other nearly every variety of- 

 fered by seedsmen,we confidently 

 claim that there is no better variety than this for general market or 

 family use. We speak emphatically because we have given a great 

 amount of time perfecting our stock, and know that for smoothness and 

 regularity of shape, uniformity of size, color and freedom from rot or 

 cracking, this variety is unsurpassed. It is not only an extremely smooth 

 and perfectly shaped tomato, but it is also very early, ripening its first 

 fruit almost as early as any sort. Vines large, with large, dark green 

 leaves, vigorous and wonderfully productive, being, under high culture, 

 one of the heaviest croppers; fruit medimn size to large, and uuhke 

 most varieties, grows larger as the season advances, perfectly smooth, 

 solid, but without any core; deep, rich red color, and of excellent flavor. 

 This kind is admirably adapted to canners' use. Pkt.5c ; Oz.25c; 2 Oz.40«;

D. M. Ferry & Go's Optimus Tomato. 



P , jVI, ferry & Go's Optimus . , 



A variety introduced by us, and we believe the best 

 table tomato, at least as far as quality is concerned. Vine medium sized,but 

 vigorous, healthy and productive. Although not represented as a first early 

 sort, many of our customers report that they have obtained ripe fruit from 

 this as early as from any sort, and it proves to be one of the best varieties 

 known for forcing. Fruit medium sized, oval,very smooth and of exceedingly 

 bright, crimson-scarlet color; very free from cracks, and rotting but litfle. 

 The flesh is of a crimson-scarlet color, quite distinct. It is also one 

 of the best in flavor and entirely 

 free from the hard spots found in 

 so many others. The Optimus is 

 not only one of the best for home 

 use and for market, but one of the 

 best canning tomatoes. Pkt.Sc; Oz.

FAVORITE. Vine medium, with large, dark green leaves, hav- 

 ing numerous clusters of three to seven, large tomatoes, which are 

 a rich, dark red color, of oval outline, exceedingly smooth; flesh 

 very firm, but without green spots. This is a favorite variety on 

 account of its smooth, handsome fruit. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz.

ROYAL RED. vines stronger and more vigorous than the Favor- 

 ite. The fruit is larger, brighter, deeper red and fully as good in 

 quality. This is certainly a fine tomato for those who prize large 

 size and bright color. Pkt.5c; Oz.20c; 2 Oz.35c; h Lb.60c; Lb.$2.00
