 Oca.ULy the smoothest and best of the large, purple sorts. Vines 

 large, vigorous and heavy bearers; fruit large, uniform in size, very

Purple Dwarf 



Beauty 



Dwarf Champion 



Dwarf CViamninn A purple fruited var- 

 l^VVari \^na£npiOn lety forming a strong, 

 erect, bushy plant two feet high. Often sold as 

 Tree Tomato. Fruit smooth, medium sized, fairly 

 solid and is of good flavor. Desirable for forcing 

 as it can be planted close to the glass and more 

 closely on the bench than the tall growing kinds.

Very similar t o 

 Dwarf Champion 

 both in vine and color of fruit; while the 

 fruits mature a little later they are dis- 

 tinctly larger and for this reason more de- 

 sirable for market. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 40c; 

 3 Oz. 75c; h Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.00 



I-l.i-..nA«* dviorUf- The best sort for 



nonor Orignt distant markets and 

 a late crop. The yellowish green foliage 

 and the slow ripening of the fruit tend to 

 prejudice people against this sort, but the 

 vine can be depended upon to give a big 

 crop of uniformly good, large fruit. This, 

 when allowed to ripen on the vine, is of ex- 

 cellent quality and "\\hen ripened off the 

 vine, while in transit to some distant mar- 

 ket or on shelves in the house after frost 

 has killed the vines, is of better quality 

 than that of most varieties so handled. 

 Pick when just passing out of the wliite 

 stage, wi'ap in paper and pack in boxes. It should be 

 set out earlier that most sorts because of its slow 

 maturing. In the north the vines may be pulled at 

 the approach of frost and hung in a moist place, safe 

 from freezing. They will then give for a month firm, 

 ripe fruit of brilliant red color. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 35c;
