WHITE'S EXCELSIOR. This fine var- 

 iety is the best purple tomato. The vines are the 

 largest, strongest growers of any, bear the great- 

 est crops, and continue bearing until frost. The 

 fruits are large, smooth and nearly solid, with but 

 few seeds; color dark glossy or purple red, ripen 

 up evenly around the stem, no green spots or hard 

 core. One of the best shipping varieties, as it 

 stands up well. In quality and flavor cannot be 

 surpassed. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., i/4 lb. 75 

 tts., lb. $2.50.

 through at once. For canning has no superior; a 

 tough skin, will bear shipping long distances. Very 

 few seeds and has no hard green core. Per pkt. 4 

 cts., oz. 15 cts., 14 lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.75.

GOLDEN QUEEN, a yellow variety of 

 firbt-class quality; large, smooth, solid, and pro-

HONOR BRIGHT. The vines are vigor- 

 ous and bear prsfusely from early to late in the 

 season. Best known shipper; should be shipped 

 in the waxy or yellow stage. Its color changes 

 during ripening are remarkable. At maturity it 

 is a rich, bright red. This tomato is certain to 

 become widely famous, as it is distinct from all 

 other sorts. If picked in the early stage of ripen- 

 ing, will keep from one to four weeks if stored in 

 a cool place. Its table qualities are excellent, the 

 flesh, when fully rip?, being tender and melting.

THE SUCCESS. A magnificent new 

 Scarlet Tomato of finest quality. It is smooth, 

 well formed an-1 extremely deep from stem to blos- 

 som, making it unusually heavy. It ripens evenly 

 to the stem and is without ridges or cracks. It 

 is firm without being hard, few seeds, an un- 

 rivaled home tomato and an unequalled shipper. 

 The vines are vigorous but compact, always fruits 

 in clusters. On account of its brilliant red color, 

 depth and solidity, it is one of the handsomest 

 Tomatoes grrown. Per. pkt. 5 eta., oz. 25 cts., %

 fruited of all the dwarf or bush Tomatoes. The 

 growth is stiff and erect, fruit averages nearly as 

 large as the Tall Stone and ripens earlier. The 

 fruits ara produced in clusters of three to five. 

 The strong upright habit of growth permits of 

 close planting, about 24 inches apart. The shape 

 of fruit is smooth, free from craclcs about the 

 stem, grows solid, ripens evenly and is of excel- 

 lent quality, and of a bright scarlet color. This 

 variety has come to stay and will easily find a 

 place among our other standard sorts. Per pkt.

HUSK TOMATO 



IMPROVED GROUND CHERRY, or 



STRAWBERRY. Grows enclosed in a 

 husk, excellent for preserves; will keep within 

 husks all winter. This is well worth growing for 

 preserves, both on account of its fine quality and 

 immense productiveness. The fruit has a pleasant 

 strawberry-like flavor, and is much esteemed and 

 by some considered indispensable for pies, sauce, 

 etc., both green and dry. With the addition of 

 lemon juice it is frequently preserved like plums 

 as well as stewed and served like cranberries. Per
