i mproved TROPHY 



The Trophy was the first of the 

 modern improved sorts, and it had 

 qualities of color, size and solidity 

 which entitled it to hold a place 

 against the much lauded new 

 kinds; though all admitted it 

 lacked in smoothness and regular- 

 ity. By most careful breeding 

 and selection, there has been de- 

 veloped a strain in which all the 

 original good qualities are retained 

 and even intensified, and which 

 compares favorably with any in 

 smoothness, regularity and sym- 

 metry of the fruit. We offer our 

 Improved Trophy as a sort whose 

 large, strong growing, vigorous 

 and productive vine, very large, 

 very solid, smooth, fine flavored, 

 and beautiful, deep, I'ich red fruit 

 will satisfy the most exacting.

Improved Trophy Tomatd. 



We have given a good deal of attention to the improvement of this variety, and think 

 we have succeeded in making it one of the smoothest and most uniform in size, and 

 earliest of the purple fruited sorts. Vine large, hardy and productive, ripening its 

 first fruit almost as early as any, and continuing to bear abundantly until cut off by 

 frost. Fruit in clusters of four or five, invariably round, smooth and of good size, free from cracks and stands shipment 

 remarkably well; flesh solid and of excellent flavor. For market gardeners who want an early, purple fruited tomato, 

 either for home market, or to ship, for private gardens, or for canners, it stands without a peer among its class. This 

 variety is used for planting under glass. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; ^ Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00

MIKADO, OR TURNER'S HYBRID f„SS|,'!-nras^S'!; 



as twenty-eight ounces, while the average weight is probably not less than 

 twelve. Vines large, coarse growing, with leaves entire, like those of the potato 

 plant; very productive, and is early for so large a tomato; fruit extremely large, 

 rough, solid, with few seeds. Demanded by those who want extra large fruit.

Dwarf Champion 



This is a purple fruited variety, which forms very stout, strong 

 plants about two feet high. The branches are short, making a 

 bushy plant that stands quite erect without stakes. This sort is 

 often sold as Tree Tomato. Fruit smooth, medium sized, color 

 purplish-pink, fairly solid, but has no hard core, and is of good fla- 

 vor. About as early as any purple fruited tomato, and is quite pop- 

 ular in some localities, both for market and home use. 



The dwarf habit of the vines makes it very desirable for forc= 

 ing, as it can be planted closer to the glass, and more closely on 

 the bench than the tall growing kinds. 



Our stock is a very superior strain with larger, smoother fruit 

 than the original. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 26c; 2 Oz. 40c; ^ Lb. 76c; Lb. $2.25

Dp A r 14 This is a distinct and very attractive appearing tomato, highly desirable for preserving, eating from the hand 

 r L»/Wli or table decoration. Fruit resembles a peach in shape, size and color, and is covered with a delicate down, 

 which makes the deception quite complete; flesh tender and of good flavor. Should find a place in every garden. Pkt. 5c;

The superior flavor of the yellow varieties is bringing them 

 into favor as table fruit, and those who think of a yellow 

 tomato as the rough fruit of the old yellow sorts will be sur- 

 prised at this smooth, beautiful fruit, it being as smooth as the best of the red varieties, and of a fine and distinct flavor.

This old sort is often presented as a novelty under a new name. 

 While no one should plant largely of it for market or home use, it 

 is a good variety for eating from the hand. The fruit is about one 

 and one-half inches in diameter, round, perfectly smooth and of a yellowish-white color. Flesh very mild flavored and deli- 

 cate, and is valued by some for making preserves. Pkt. 6c; Oz, 25c; 2 Oz, 40c; % Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.25
