BOLGIANO'S RED CROSS RUST-RESISTANT TOMATO 



This splendid BLIGHT RESISTING variety has now gained so many fast friends that it seems our 

 catalog for the coming year would be incomplete without having it on our very first page. The RED 

 CROSS TOMATO has not only equaled all expectations of it when tried out in field and home garden 

 conditions, but has far exceeded our wildest hopes. Bred by experts to resist the scourge that is taking so 

 many of our finest crops, it came as a boon to some parts of our State who have had to almost stop 

 raising that crop by which they have lived so many years, while others have taken to growing it simply 

 because it has proven a stronger and more vigorous grower than other varieties. It is a midseason va- 

 riety, but because of the vigorous growth of its vines its season far overlaps other varieties. The large 

 size, bright scarlet fruits have remarkably small seed cavities and rich solid meat, making them exceed- 

 ingly good shippers. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 70 cts.; 54 lb. $2.25; lb. $8.00. 



fYimenn Trnnnpr To De able to constantly bring new and better types of vegetables to the attention 

 ^ixixibun ^luppci. o{ ouf customers is Qur chiefest delight. In the CRIMSON CROPPER TOMATO 

 we have produced something so much better in the early tomato class that it is hard to draw a comparison. 

 To say that it combines earliness with great productiveness and long keeping qualities is to realize the 

 dream of growers and gardeners. Nor will it injure easily in the field, for it is well protected by its heavy 

 foliage. These sterling qualities combined with its deep red color, comparative seedlessness, and solid, 

 massy flesh make us recommend it to the most particular of growers. Pkt. 10 and 25 cts.; oz. $1.50; 

 54 lb. $5.00; lb. $15.00.

72 The Greater Baltimore Tomato. In a ^ree years' test it produced I 1654 tons to the acre 



t^. nit - wx^m against 13V3 tons of the Stone on the average. While we 



recommend the Stone Tomato, we say and believe the Greater Baltimore Tomato is better in every way. 

 Large, smooth, bright red color — very productive. Fine for table, canning and market. It ripens well up 

 to the' stem end and does not crack. It is extremely heavy, a measured bushel often weighing 65 to 70 

 pounds. Among New Jersey canners it is considered superior to Stone and Red Rock. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; 

 oz. 30 cts.; 54 lb. $1-00; lb. $3.50.
