Pomodoro or Large Red 

 Plum Tomato 



A beautiful bright red plum-shaped 

 tomato. It is the most delicious and 

 attractive salad tomato ever intro- 

 duced. It contains practically no 

 acid and possesses a delicate flavor, 

 so much desired in salads. Large Red 

 Plum is one of the best varieties in 

 cultivation for making the delicious 

 tomato preserve, and it is also ideal 

 for dehydrating. It is one of the most 

 prolific tomatoes we have ever 

 grown, beginning early in the season 

 and continuing uninterruptedly up 

 to frost. The fruits are the size of a 

 good-sized plum and are borne in 

 clusters of six or more. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, oz. SI. 00, % lb. $3.00, 

 lb. $10.00.

Long Island Improved Purple-Top 



Henderson's* This is undoubtedly one of the finest va- 

 rieties of purple-top Ruta Baga, and 

 originated with one of our Long Island growers. It is twice the 

 size of ordinary American stocks, and although size is usually 

 gotten at the expense of quality, the quality is superior to any that 

 we have tested. It is perfectly hardy. In a fair test on several 

 Long Island farms, alongside some of the best European and 

 American varieties, it produced almost twice the weight per acre 

 of any other variety. As a winter food for live stock the Ruta 

 Baga has a wide range of adaptation, and is found at its best where 

 the weather is moist and cool. (See en graving.)
