 Cropper 

 Tomato. 



Crimson Cropper. This newest member in the 

 Tomato "family well deserves all the praise that 

 can be spoken of it. It is one of the earliest toma- 

 toes ever produced and added to this is an excep- 

 tionally heavy cropper. Thus the grower cannot 

 only command the high prices of an early mar- 

 ket, but has a large crop to sell at attractive fig- 

 ures. This tomato is deep red in color and has a 

 solid mass of meaty flesh 

 containing no watery seed 

 cavities and no green cores. 

 The tough skin, together 

 with its long keeping quali- 

 ties, help make it a splen- 

 did shipper. In the field it 

 is not likely to be ever af- 

 fected by sun scald, for the 

 fruits are well protected by 

 heavy foliage. This we be- 

 lieve to be one of the most 

 promising varieties we 

 have ever introduced. Pkt. 

 10 and 25 cts.; oz. $1.50; 

 % lb. $5.00.; lb. $15.00. 

 The Bolgiano. i t is with 

 pleasure that we are able 

 to offer this splendid new 

 variety to our trade this 

 year. The fruit of this variety are deep red in color, are very smooth and resist cracking under the 

 most adverse conditions. It has been already grown by gardeners, truckers and home growers with re- 

 markable success. It is a pleasure to cut open the smooth and solid flesh of fruit that are entirely core- 

 less. Although one of our newest very early varieties, it will also take its place among the heavy pro- 

 ducing types. Pkt. 10 and 25 cts.; oz. $1.50; % lb. $5.00; lb. $15.00. 



217. Chalk's Early Jewel. One of the best early 

 varieties with vigorous vines producing many deep 

 scarlet, smooth fruits of large size and excellent 

 quality. They .ripen early and the pickings con- 

 tinue through a long season. One of the best sec- 

 ond early sorts, and on account of its large size, 

 splendid quality and productiveness, very satisfac- 

 tory for the home garden. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 

 30 cts.; Y* lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50. 



44. June Pink Tomato. The pleasing color, with 

 its splendid large size and firmness, is all that can 

 be expected. We get our seed each season from 

 the originator, knowing as we do that he who in- 

 troduced it will take best care to see that his seed 

 is as nearly perfect as possible. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; 

 oz. 35 cts.; J4 lb. $1.15; lb. $4.00. 



John Baer Tomato.

 While not quite as early as the June Pink, yet it 

 has good character and is productive. The fruit is 

 large and continues to bear well for a long time. 

 Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; % lb. $1.15; lb. 

 $3.50.

 plies, this variety has long been a favorite with 

 canners and the home trade. Favorite is one of the

 to the end of the season. Flesh is of good flavor 

 and very solid. Pkts. 5 and 10 Qts.; oz. 25 cts.;

28. Livingston's Globe. We can hardly speak too 

 well for this Tomato ; introduced in Ohio, it has 

 gradually increased in demand until now it is one 

 of the leaders. Large, purplish-pink, solid; comes 

 immediately after the earliest sorts. Enormously 

 productive. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; J4 lb.
