EXTRA EARLY RUBY 



This new variety came to our notice last season, and after 

 giving it a thorough test we consider it the best all-round 

 early Tomato in existence. While not as early as the Sparks' 

 Earliana by a week or ten days, it is far superior in anality, 

 size, shape, flavor and productiveness. In color, ruby red, 

 nearly globe-shaped; solid flesh throughout, and with very 

 few seeds and free from acidity; it makes a splendid main 

 crop variety; a great keeper and shipper. "We have secured 

 a limited supply of the seed, and will only put them up in 

 10c. packages, yi ounces, ounces, 14 pounds and pounds to en- 

 able it to be disseminated among a grreater number of plant- 

 ers. The ejctremely large returns will fully justify the pro- 

 gressive trucker in trying a small quantity.
