POTATO LEAF. 

 NEW DWARF CHAMPION — 



Dwarf Champion possesses twoqualities that 

 are bound to recommend it to all growers 

 of Tomatoes, whether for market or private 

 use ; one of these consists of that wonder- 

 ful qualification that even when laden 

 with fruit it is actually self-support- 

 ing, its thick, stiff and short-jointed stems 

 holding the fruit from the ground when 

 loaded with Tomatoes. The second point 

 that particularly recommends Dwarf 

 Champion is its earliness, it having no 

 superior in this respect, excepting Earliest 

 and Advance. As its fruit is much larger 

 than the latter variety, it will no doubt 

 prove more profitable as an early market 

 crop than this heretofore popular extra 

 early sort. The above two points are strong 

 in themselves, but there are others in ad- 

 dition that should recommend Dwarf 

 Champion to every reader of this catalogue. 

 Its close, upright growth enables it to be 

 planted closer than any other sort, conse- 

 quently it bids fair to surpass in produc- 

 tiveness every other variety, a* a half-bushel 

 of full-grown Tomatoes can frequently be 

 seen on a single vine. In shape it is of 

 medium size, the fruit resembling the Acme, 

 being of a purplish pink color, and always 

 smooth and symmetrical in form. The 

 flesh is solid and of superior quality, while 

 on account of its tough skin, it will bear 

 transportation much better than many 

 other varieties. Its dwarf, compact growth, 

 attractive appearance, earliness in ripen- 

 ing, and above all, that great quality of 

 self supporting its fruit, will cause Dwarf 

 Champion to prove one of the most 

 popular varieties ever introduced.
