POMODORO OR LARGE RED PLUM TOMATO 



A beautiful bright red plum-shaped tomato. It is the most delicious 

 and attractive salad tomato ever introduced. 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, be- 

 ginning 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 engraving.)

LONG ISLAND IMPROVED PURPLE-TOP, HENDERSON'S 



This is undoubtedly one of the finest varieties 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 five stock the Ruta Baga has a wide range 

 of adaptation, and is found at its best where the weather is moist and cool.
