HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



31 



Sparks' Earliana Tomato. 



A wonderfully early and exceedingly prolific medium-sized, uniform, smooth and 

 attractively shaped, bright scarlet tomato, of great solidity and fine flavor. It is 

 one of the earliest tomatoes grown, having been evolved through keen competition 

 in a tomato-growing section in Southern New Jersey, where earliness and quality 

 secure profitable returns. The plant is of neat, moderate growth, but quite 

 hardy, and well set with clusters of from 5 to 8 fruits, averaging 2* inches through, 

 nearly all ripening up remarkably early and evenly; of great value to the market 

 gardener where earlv tomatoes are an object. {See cut.) 



Price, 30c. oz., 90c. \ lb., $2.75 lb. 



V^halk's fcarly Jewel 1 



omato. 



One of the Best Early Tomatoes for Market. Large, Smooth, Handsome, Ex- 

 ceedingly Prolific. 



One of the handsomest and best of the several recently introduced early varieties. 

 It is not the earliest but only about a week later than Earliana. The fruit of 

 Jewel, however, averages much larger, often weighing from 12 to 16 ounces each. 

 Very deep, uniform, smooth, solid, of fine quality, and brilliant scarlet in color. 

 It is a very heavy cropper, bearing throughout the season. The fruits if picked as 

 soon as ripe do not rot or crack even in wet weather. The plants are vigorous, 

 healthy and so hardy they may be planted out earlier than most varieties. Valuable 

 for the private garden and especiallv so for market.

June Pink Tomato. 



This variety has rapidly come into favor for early shipping. It is a selection 

 from Spark's Earliana, but it has a distinct advantage in color, being of the bright 

 purplish pink known as the " Acme Color." This insures its more ready sale on 

 some markets where this color of tomato is popular. It produces a good crop of 

 marketable sized fruits as early in the season as the earliest varieties. Its shipping 

 qualities are admirable. The vine is of a spreading habit, which leaves the center 

 of the plant exposed, so that the very earliest fruits are thoroughly exposed to the 

 sun, which facilitates the early ripening. The fruits are generally smooth. The 

 flesh is remarkably solid, and of a most agreeable flavor, so whether used for 

 shipping or for local markets, it will certainly meet with favor. Price, 30c. oz., 

 $1.00 i lb., $3.00 lb. 



STONE TOMATO. 



Large, Regularly Shaped Fruit Flesh Firm. 

 Skin Scarlet and Good Shipper. 



This is one of the best and most popular 

 main crop varieties for market gardeners. The 

 plant is a strong grower, is very prolific, and 

 possesses every requisite for a salable tomato; 

 the fruits are large, smooth, almost round, being 

 very deep, slightly flattened at base and top; 

 the color is an attractive, vivid scarlet. The 

 skin is tough and the flesh unusually solid and 

 firm making it one of the best shippers. The 

 quality is unsurpassed for either cooking, canning 

 or slicing, being meaty and firm. (See cm
