663 Chalk's 

 Early Jewel 



(Bright Red.) At Panmure I have given this 

 variety a thorough test. I find it Is not to be 

 classed with Earliest of All or Earllana. It ma- 

 tured with us about the same time as Success, 

 and while it Is a smooth and productive sort, 

 should be classed with the second early variet'" 

 The seed I oS'er was carefully grown at Pan mi 

 from stock obtained at a high price direct fr i 

 the introducer. A home or early market sort.

The Matchless 



(Cardinal Red.) This great tomato is well nam 

 The illustration gives a fair idea of its size i ' 

 smoothness. The color is a rich, cardinal red. j 

 skin is so tough that it Is a splendid keeper i 

 shipper, and is less liable to crack in wet weatl 

 than any other large tomato. Unsurpassed .-l 

 market or for table. The plant is a strong grower, 

 and is very productive. The fruit is free from core, 

 and the seed spaces are small. The leaves are of a 

 rich, dark gi-een color, and very luxuriant, indi- 

 cating great vigor, and giving the plant ability to 

 produce fruit of the largest size throughout the 

 entire season. It stands at the front as a large, 

 bright red, main crop sort, and I can safely high- 

 ly recommend it to all my friends, and especially 

 to those who are running market gardens. 



Pkt., lOc; oz., 30c.; }4 lb., 85c.; lb., $3.00.
