The fault of the distinctively early tomatoes was that they have been lacking 

 in size and symmetrj-. This is all chang-ed now. and instead of the small, 

 rough, deeply corrugated fruits of the " Hundred Day " type we have in the 

 Atlantic Priz*- a variety bearing fruit which in size, shape, color, soliditj' and quahty, will compare favorably with the later 

 kinds, and bj- repeated trials we have demonstrated that it ripens up a large proportion of its crop the earliest of any variety. 

 We do not hesitate to pronounce it the largest, smoothest, best flavored and brightest colored red. extra early tomato. Vine 

 small, with few leaves, very hardy, bearing the fruit low down on the stem and in enormous clusters.' which ripen all 

 together. Where earliness is the chief consideration this is the best variety. Pkt. be: Oz. ioc: 2 Oz. 40c: 3^ Lb. Joe: Lb.

D.M. TERRY & GO'S OPTMS 



A variety introduced by us. and we believe the best table tomato, 

 at least as far as quality is concerned. Vine medium sized, but 

 vigorous, healthy, and productive. Although not represented as 

 a first early sort, man}- of our customers report that they have obtained ripe fruit from this as early as from any sort, audit 

 proves to be one of the best varieties known for forcing.' Fruit medium sized, oval, very smooth, and of exceedingly bright, 

 crimson-scarlet color: very free from cracks, and rotting but little. The flesh is of a crimson-scarlet color, quite distinct. It is 

 also one of the best in flavor, and entirely free from the hard spots found in so many others. The Optjmus is not only one of 

 the best for home use and for market, but one of the best canning tomatoes. 



Vine medium sized, with large, dark green leaves, having 



numerous clusters of three to seven large tomatoes, which 

 are a lich. dark red color, of oval outline, exceedinglj- smooth: flesh very firm, but 

 without green spots. This is a favorite variety on account of its smooth, handsome 

 fruit. Pkt. be, Oz. 20c: 2 Oz. 35c; H Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00 



Vines stronger and more vigorous than 



the Favorite. The fruit is larger, bright- 

 er, deeper red and fully as good in quality. This is certainly a fine 

 tomato for those who prize large size and bright color. Pkt. 5c;

We have been selecting this to a larger, smoother fruit than 

 the original stock, and think we have made it 



The Smoothest and Best of the 

 Large Purple Sorts ...

 size, very smooth, color of skin purplish-pink: flesh liglit pink 

 and of excellent flavor. While we think the color weak for can- 

 ning, it is used considernblv for this purpose. Pkt- 5c: Oz, 20c:
