New Stone Tomato.

 productive. While maturing with the later sorts, the 

 bright .red fruit is of good color, exceedingly smooth,

 rieties. Packet, 10c. Ounce, 35c. Ya pound, $1.00.

"BONNY BEST" EARLY TOMATO. — Enor- 

 mously prolific, scarlet red, globeshaped fruits, 

 smooth and ripening evenly without cracking. This 

 new variety is fully' 10 days earlier than Chalk's 

 Early Jewel, and within 2 or 3 days as early as 

 Earliana. It is a vigorous grower, enormouslly pro- 

 lific, with larger foliage than the Earliana, which 

 will protect the fruit from the hot sun on days when 

 early varieties with less foliage would scald. In 

 color it is a beautiful scarlet red. Packet, 5c.

 the fruit, together with its freedom from rot, all 

 unite in making this well worthy of the name of 

 "Matchless." Fine both for private and market 

 gardening and canning. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 20c.
