TOMATO— continued 



877 BONNY BEST 



Produces Large Size Tomatoes Bright 

 Scarlet in Color 



Bonny Best is decidedly the "best" in its 

 class for the Market Gardener whose trade 

 requires really fine fruits. It is almost as 

 early as Earliana; and is a larger tomato, 

 anda heavier cropper. The fruits are deep 

 scarlet in color, very smooth, perfectly 

 round, solid and meaty. Bonny Best is 

 also an excellent variety for the canner, 

 as it yields from 12 to 15 tons to the acre. 

 (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; % lb. $1.75. 



879 CHALK'S EARLY JEWEL 



One of the best early varieties; about a 

 week later than Earliana. The fruit of the 

 Jewel, however, averages larger, is uniform 

 solid, smooth, of fine quality, and brilliant 

 scarlet; a heavy cropper. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; X lb. $1.50; 

 transportation paid. 



878 BREAK-O'DAY 



The Most Solid of the Extra Early 

 Varieties — Disease Resistant 



This marks an epoch in the breeding of 

 globe-shaped tomatoes now so popular. 

 It is a cross between the well-known variety 

 Marglobe and another variety, not as yet 

 introduced to commerce. It is greatly 

 disease-resistant and is the same shape, 

 color and size as Marglobe but much more 

 solid; and to crown all is 10 to 12 days earlier 

 in ripening. This means that Break- 

 O'Day will ripen along with Bonny Best 

 and the other extra early tomatoes, but 

 excels them greatly in size solidity and seed- 

 lessness. 



Price, pkt. 15c; oz 60c; X lb. $1.75

HENDERSON'S GOLDEN PONDEROSA specif st™i» 



It Equals Ponderosa in Size But Bears Rich, 



OQO A yellow Tomato that has color alone to distinguish it is not 

 00 * 7 entirely novel. Many such varieties have been introduced , but, 

 having failed to gain popularity owing either to lack of flavor 

 or some other essential, have disappeared from cultivation. 

 GOLDEN PONDEROSA is equal in every respect to its parent 

 the red Ponderosa, possessing all the qualities that have made 

 our Ponderosa a household word throughout the land, and, in 



Golden- Yellow Fruits in Abundance 



addition, has the striking color which compels instant attention- 

 It originated as a "Sport" from red Ponderosa and comes re- 

 markably true; but some parti-colored fruits may be expected. 



It presents a striking appearance when served sliced with the 

 red Ponderosa, and supplies a decorative table effect both novel 

 and attractive. 



Price, pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. 50c; oz. $1.00; transportation paid.

892 LARGE RED PLUM OR POMODORA 

 (Italian) 



A beautiful bright red plum-shaped tomato. It is the most 

 delicious and attractive salad tomato ever introduced. It 

 contains practically no acid and possesses a delicate flavor so 

 much desired in salads. Large Red Plum is one of the best 

 varieties in cultivation for making the delicious tomato preserve, 

 and it is also ideal for dehydrating. It is one of the most pro- 

 lific tomatoes we have ever grown, beginning early in the season 

 and continuing uninterruptedly up to frost. The fruits are the 

 size of a good-sized pjum and are borne in clusters of six or more.
