(jf^iN this and page following will be found a few good new Vegetables that we recommend as varieties that 

 " w iH give pleasing and profitable results. Our New Tomato "Best Yet" is offered this year for the 

 first time, and only by us. As the name implies, it is unquestionably the best yellow Tomato for all pur- 

 poses. A trial will show it to be far ahead of anything yet seen in its color. 



Two Grand Tomatoes new and distinct. 



NEW YELLOW TOMATO "BEST YET." 



For sale only by The Ding-ee & Conard Company. 



Large, Solid, Fine Quality, Very Productive. 



It is not ofcen that we have the pleasure of introducing a novelty in Vegetables — not because of the want of opportunities 

 but rather the lack of merit and distinctness in the specialties that have been offered to us for introduction. In this new 

 Tomato we have a variety that is absolutely distinct and one that possesses real merit. It originated in Tasmania five years 

 ago, and the entire stock which we secured has been grown under our personal supervision. It has so many points of 

 superior excellence which were freely developed during our trials that we give it our strongest endorsement, feeling confident 

 it will take its place as a first-class Yellow Tomato — if not the best — for all-around cultivation. 



Our special grower — a veteran Tomato grower, and the introducer of Matchless — says in comparison with the standard 

 yellow sorts, " Best Yet" is far superior in every respect — particularly in substance, size and productiveness. 



In color it is a bright golden yellow, has but little core and is smooth, remarkably solid, a good keeper, and its qual- 

 ity splendid — entirely distinct and different from other yellow kinds. 



Our illustration gives the exact size of a fruit taken from an ordinary vine that bore fifty-three perfect Tomatoes ; they 

 are produced in clusters of six to eight and as a rule are of uniform size. 



We are proud to introduce such a worthy New Tomato, and recommend our customers to give it a trial. For table use 

 it cannot be excelled. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 for 25 cts.; 5 for 60 cts.; 10 for $1. 



NEW MATCHLESS TOMATO. 



Since the introduction of this grand Tomato it has achieved a national reputation, won on its merits of superiority over 

 all other varieties, and we strongly recommend it as the best red Tomato for family and market use now in cultivation. 



The vines are healthy and luxuriant in growth, enormously prolific, and are loaded down with fruit until checked by 

 Autumn frosts. The fruit is cardinal red in color, of the largest size, and its flesh is singularly tender and of the richest 

 quality. It is almost without core, and the skin is exceedingly pliable and will not crack. A splendid keeper, and will 

 remain in marketable condition for twelve or fifteen days after picking. The Matchless is preeminently the finest all-around 

 Tomato yet sent out. Our supply of stock seed is direct from the introducer and is put up in liberal packets. Per pkt., 

 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.; ]/i oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; % lb., $1.25; lb.. $4. 



SPECIAL OFFER.— One pkt. each of our superb New Yellow Tomato " Best Yet" and one pkt. of the brightest red — 

 Matchless — for 20 cts.; 2 of each for 40 cts.; 4 of each for 75 cts.
