Early Freedom Tomato. 



THE BEST EARLY TOMATO IN EXISTENCE. 



Not only Early, but a prodigious and continuous bearer. Fruits of moderate size, as 

 handsome and uniform as if moulded. Quality, solidity and flavor surpassingly fine. 



Early Freedom is unqualifiedly superior to any other early tomato grown. Its 

 value lies not only in the actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that such enormous 

 quanitites of fruit can be gathered while all other so-called " Earlies " are ripening 

 only a few. The fruits are of good size, perfectly round, and remarkably handsome, 

 smooth as glass, and of brilliant scarlet. The flesh is remarkably solid, having but 

 few seeds. The flavor is perfect, absolutely free from any acidity. The fruits are 

 borne in large clusters, in phenomenal abundance and continuously, from the middle 

 of July (in this latitude) until killed by frost. We highly recommend it, not only for 

 its extreme and bountiful earliness, but as a good, all-seasons variety. Fine fruits 

 can be picked from it in the fall, long after other varieties have ceased bearing; in 

 fact, this variety even increases in size up to its last picking. This last feature is a 

 very valuable one to the trucker. It also has a very tough skin and flesh is very firm, 

 making it the best shipper and keeper of the Early varieties. {See cut.) Price,

CHALK'S Early Jewel Tomato 



One of the Best Early Tomatoes for Market. Large, Smooth, Handsome, 



Exceedingly Prolific. 



One of the handsomest and best of the several recently introduced early 

 varieties. It is not the earliest but only about a week later than Earliana. 

 The fruit of Jewel, however, averages much larger, often weighing from 12 

 to 16 ounces each. Very deep, uniform, smooth, solid, of fine quality, and 

 biilliant scarlet in color. It is a very heavy cropper, bearing throughout 

 the season. The fruits if picked as soon as ripe do not rot or crack even in 

 wet weather. The plants are vigorous, healthy and so hardy they may be 

 planted out earlier than most varieties. Valuable for the private garden 

 and especially so for market.
