SPARKS' EARLIANA TOMATO 



A wonderfully early and exceed- 

 ingly prolific medium-sized, uniform, 

 smooth and attractively shaped, 

 bright scarlet tomato, of great 

 solidity and fine flavor. It is one 

 of the earliest tomatoes grown, hav- 

 ing been evolved through keen com- 

 petition in a tomato-growing section 

 in Southern New Jersey, where 

 earliness and quality secure profitable 

 returns. The plant is of neat, moder- 

 ate growth, but quite hardy, and 

 well set with clusters of from 5 to 8 

 fruits, averaging 2* inches through, 

 nearly all ripening up remarkably 

 early and evenly; of great value to 

 the market gardener where early 

 tomatoes are an object. (See cut.) 



Price, 30c. oz., 90c. i lb., $2.75 lb. 



CRIME'S JUNE PINK TOMATO. 



This variety has' rapidly come into favor for early shipping. It is a selection from Spark's Eariiana, but it has a distinct ad- 

 vantage in color, being of the bright purplish pink known as the " Acme Color." This insures its more ready sale on some markets 

 where this color of tomato is popular. It produces a good crop of marketable sized fruits as early in the season as the eariiest 

 varieties. Its shipping qualities are admirable. The vine is of a spreading habit, which leaves the center of the plant exposed, so 



that the very earliest fruits are thoroughly exposed to the sUn, 

 which facilitates the early ripening. The fruits are generally 

 smooth. The flesh is remarkably solid, and of a most agree- 

 able flavor, so whether used for shipping cr for local markets, 

 it will certainly meet with favor. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., 

 $1.10 I lb., $3.50 lb. 



BEAUTY TOMATO. 



Early, prolific, medium sized, smooth and 

 solid; fruits until late in the season. We 

 wish to call special attention to our stock of 

 this tomato. It has been bred to such per- 

 fection that it is the best all-round variety 

 for the market gardener. The plant is 

 robust and yields enormous crops of perfectly 

 shaped fruits during the entire season. It is 

 almost round, solid and meaty, the color 

 is deep purplish-red and is not affected by 

 extremes in temperature, and the tough 

 skin inakes it an ideal shipper; the best of 

 the " purple " varieties. (See rut.) Price, 

 25c. oz., 70c. } lb., $2.25 lb. 



STONE TOMATO. 



."This is one of the best and most populaa" 

 main crop varieties for market gardeners. 

 The plant is a strong grower, is very prolific, 

 and possesses every requisite for a salable 

 tomato: the fruits are large, smooth, almost 

 round, being very deep, slightly flattened at 

 base and top; the color is an attractive, vivid 

 scarlet. The skin is tough and the flesh 

 unusually solid, making it one of the best 

 shippers. The quality is unsurpassed for 

 either cooking, canning or sHcing. being meaty 

 and firm. Price, 25c. oz., 70c. i lb., $2.25 lb.
