COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



Spark's Earliana Tomato 



The Earliest Lar^e, Smooth Red Tomato 



This new and valuable Tomato comes from 

 a well-known New Jersey market gardener. 

 It is claimed to be a full week ahead of all 

 ethers. The past season in our trial grounds 

 side by side with all the leading so-called 

 early kinds, it was several days ahead in 

 ripening. This tomato is not only remarkable 

 for its earliness, but for its large size, hand- 

 some shape and bright red color. Its solidity 

 and fine quality are equal to the best medl- 

 ma and late sorts. Price per pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 25 cts-' M lb, 75 cts- 



Nicotiana Sandera^ 



New Hardy Annua! with Lar^e, 

 Bright Carmine Flowers 



This new hybrid variety of Nicotiana, bears large, 



brilliant carmine-red flowers on bushy, many 



branched plants 2 feet high. Plants raised in 



spring by the same method as any of the hardy 



annuals will flower early in summer, and will give 

 a continuous display of bloom all the summer, and 

 autumn in the open ground, and will make ex- 

 traordinary branched specimens, retaining their 

 leaves to the base, as shown in the photograph. 



It is the hardy annual of the century. Among 

 Nicotiana we know nothing approaching it in point 

 of floriferousness, nor in the graceful and branch- 

 ing habit. 



The whole plant is laden with flowers from base 

 to summit— literally ablaze with most handsome 

 carmine-red blossoms, thousands of which are pro- 

 duced on a single plant. It comes true from 

 seed, and will grow and flower in all kinds of 

 soil and situations. It is a plant for the million, 

 and is destined for universal use. 



Price per pkt. 10 cts., 3 pkts. 25 cts. 



New Tomato 



Chalk's Early Jewel 



A large, smooth, and the finest flavored extra 

 early bright red Tomato. It is so hardy and vig- 

 orous in growth that a very early planting can 

 be made in the open ground. The plants are- 

 well furnished with strong healthy foliage which 

 protects the fruits from sun-scald, and enables 

 the plants to perfect an enormous crop. The 

 fruits are very deep through from stem to blos- 

 som end, the solid flesh is entirely free from 

 hard core, free from rot and do not crack 

 open in wet weather. Comes highly recom- 

 mended. 



Price per pkt. 10 cts., 2 pkts. 15 ct^., oz. 25 

 cts., 3^ lb. 75 cts.
