COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



ignotUm tomato. 



This variety, which is the result of great pains and 

 and skill, is the nearest perfection of all, either for 

 family or market use. It is large, smooth, heavy 

 and solid; of a very deep red handsome color: it 

 ripens perfectly up to the stem, and is remarkably 

 free from cracking or rotting. The flesh is of the 

 finest quality and with a delicious flavor, while 

 with the exception of Station Tree) it is the earliest. 

 Over all the ordinary kinds it has the remarkable 

 and very important advantage of having on an av- 

 erage only half as many seeds. In an exhibition of 

 over eighty varieties of tomatoes, this was singled 

 out by the best judges as the handsomest and most 

 desirable of all. 



Per pkt.. 10 cts. ; 3 pkts., 25 cts. ; oz., 40 ets. 



DWARF CHAMPION TOMATO. 



in this variety we liave a tomato that is 

 entirely distinct iu habit of growth and 

 foliage. It is dwarf and compact in habit ; 

 it stands up well, even when loaded witl\ 

 fruit, in consequence of having a stiff, 

 bushy stem, can be planted close togeth- 

 er; very desirable in small gardens. Very 

 early; last season it ripened fruit July 

 1st. The crop ripens up early and evenly. 

 As a heavy cropper it is probably unsur- 

 passed, and will yield more per acre than 

 any other variety. In form and color it 

 closely resembles the Acme; it is always 

 smooth and attractive in appearance; 

 the skin is tough and tlie flesh solid. 

 Hardly ever craclvs, and fruit attains an 

 average weight of from G to 8 ounces. 



Wo recommend this as being worthy of 

 a trial by all our customers. 



Per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 25 cts. ; J^lb, 75 cts.
