 UU^IVCJ'C OldlC of the best late sorts. The vine is 

 exceptionally strong growing and vigorous and growers 

 in some sections of the south claim that it is blight proof.

Very similar to 

 Dwarf Cham- 

 pion both in vine and color of fruit. While 

 the fruits mature a little later they are dis- 

 tinctly larger and for this reason more de- 

 sirable for market. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 40c;

A purple fruited 

 variety forming a 

 strong, erect, bushy, plant two feet high. 

 Often sold as Tree Tomato. Fruit smooth, 

 medium sized, fairly solid, but has no hard 

 core, and is of good flavor. Very desirable 

 for forcing as it can be planted close to the 

 glass, and more closely on the bench than 

 the tall growing kinds. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 25c;

Hnnnf Rrichi The best sort for dis- 

 filUnUr DrigDL tant markets and a late 

 crop. The yellowish-green foliage, and the 

 slow ripening of the fruit, tend to preju- 

 dice people against the sort, but the vine 

 can be depended upon to give a big crop of 

 uniformly good, large fruit. This, when 

 allowed to ripen on the vine, is of excellent 

 quality, and when ripened off the vine, 

 while in transit to some distant market or 

 on shelves in the house after frost has 

 killed the vines, is of better quality than 

 that of most varieties so handled. Pick 

 when just passing out of the white stage, 

 wrap in paper and pack in boxes. It should 

 be set out earlier than most sorts because 

 of its slow maturing. In the north the 

 vines may be pulled at the approach of 

 frost and hung in a moist place, safe from 

 freezing. They will then give for a month 

 firm, ripe, marketable fruit of brilliant red 

 color. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c;
