MFprrV ^ r.n'^ OntimiK ^ "anety introduced by us. and we 

 . I CI I J UL \/U O l/|JlllllUd believe the best table tomato, as far 

 as quality is concerned. Vine medium sized, but vigorovis, healthy, and 

 productive. Although not represented as a first early variety, many of 

 our customers report that they have obtained ripe fruit from this as early 

 as from any sort, and it proves to be one of tlie best varieties known for 

 forcing. Fruit medium sized, oval, very smooth, and of exceedingly bright, 

 crimsou-scarlet color; very free from cracks, and rotting but little. The 

 flesh is a distinct crimson-scarlet color. Ic is also one of the best in flavor, 

 and entirely free from the hard spots found in so many others. The Opti- 

 mus is not only one of the best for home use and for market, but one of the 

 ,-best canning tomatoes. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 3oc ; H Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00 



nu/;irf ArictnrrAt The vine is self supporting and forms a compact 

 l/nai I t\\ lOlUl/iai bush. Plant dwarf and compact.Uke the well known 

 Dwarf Champion. Produces an abundance of rich red. perfectly smooth, 

 medium sized fruit which is of the best quality. AVe think the Dwarf Aris- 

 tocrat Tomato one of the very best for private gardens, and quite equal to 

 similar sorts sold as Quarter Centurv and Kansas Stand-
