COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



Spark's Earliana Tomato 



The Earliest Lar^c, Smooth Red Tcmato 



This new and valuable Tomato comes from 

 a well-known New Jersey market gardener. 

 It is claimed to be a full week ahead of all 

 others. The past seaspn in our trial grounds 

 side by side with all the leading so-called 

 early kinds, it was several days ahead in 

 ripening. This tomato is not only remarkable 

 for its earliness, but for its large size, hand- 

 some shape and bright red color. Its solidity 

 and fine quality are equal to the best medi- 

 um and late sorts. Price per pkt. 5 eta., 

 oz. 25 cts., M lb. 75 cts.

 or bush Tomatoes. The growth is stiff and 

 erect fruit averages nearly as large as the 

 Tall Stone and ripens earlier. The fruits are 

 produced in clusters of three to five.

 of close planting, about 24 inches apart. The 

 shape of fruit is beautiful, smooth, free frem 

 cracks about the stem, grows solid, ripens 

 evenly and is of excellent quality. Fnrit of 

 a bright scarlet color. This variety has come 

 to stay and will easily find a place among 

 our other standard sorts.

 20 cts., oz. 35 cts., 1/4 lb. $1.25. 



Nicotiana Sandera^ 



New Hardy Annual with Lar^e, 

 Bright Carn^ine Flowers 



This new hybrid variety of Nicotiana, bears large, 

 brilliant carmine-red flowers on bushy, many 

 branched plants 2 feet high. Plants raised in 

 spring by the same method as any of the hardy 

 annuals will flower early in summer, and will give 

 a continuous display of bloom all the summer, and 

 autumn in the open ground, and will make ex- 

 traordinary branched specimens, retaining their 

 leaves to the base, as shown in the photograph. 



It is the hardy annual of the century. Among 

 Nicotiana we know nothing approaching it in point 

 of florifcrousncss, nor in the graceful and branch- 

 ing habil. 



The whole plant is laden with flowers from base 

 to summit--literally ablaze with most handsome 

 carmine-red blossoms, thousands of which are pro- 

 duced on a single plant. It comes true from 

 seed, and will grow and flower in all kinds of 

 soil and situations. It is a plant for the million, 

 and is destined for universal use. 



Price per pkt. 10 cts., 3 pkts. 25 cts.
