Early Freedom Tomato. 



The best Early Tomato in existence. 



Not only early, but a prodigfious and continuous bearet until frost. 



Fruits of moderate size, as handsome and uniform as if moulded. 



Quality, solidity and flavor surpassing;ly fine. 



Early Freedom is unqualifiedly superior to any other early tomato grown. 

 Its value lies not only in the actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that 

 such enormous quantities of fruit can be gathered while all other so-called 

 "Earlies" are ripening only a few. The fruits are of good size, brilliant 

 scarlet in color, perfectly round, smooth and remarkably handsome. The 

 flesh is solid, of perfect flavor and absolutely free from any acidity. The fruits 

 are borne in large clusters, in phenomenal abundance and continuously, 

 from the middle of July (in this latitude) until killed by frost. We con- 

 sider Freedom the best variety for greenhouse cultivation. It sets its fruits 

 very freely, and produces large clusters of most attractive fruit, medium in 

 size, and is of far better quality than the seedy, pulpy varieties generally 

 used for this purpose. It also has a very tough skin and flesh is very firm, 

 making it the best shipper and keeper of the early varieties. {See cut.)

"/ take pleasure in enclosing you a clipping 

 from the TROY PRESS, to show you what

EDWIN C. CHAMBERLAIN, 

 Engine Co. No. 1, Troy, N. Y. 



"I used your Freedom Tomato last season; 

 it is the best tomato I ever grew, and is a heavy 

 cropper." 



G. W. SMITH, Ellenton, Fla. 



"The Freedom Tomato fruits are especially 

 perfect. I do not think it can be surpassed as 

 an all-around tomato." 



M. E. POND, Conneaut, Ohio. 



"I had ripe fruits of your new tomato. 

 Freedom, the 16th of July, which is early for 

 this climate. The same vines are still bearing 

 {Sept. 8th) and ivill do so until frost, new fruits 

 coming on all the time." 



Mrs. M. A . SMITH, White House, N. J. 



"I want to thank you for the satisfaction that 

 I hare experienced in growing your superb 

 Freedom Tomato. They are superior in every 

 respect to any other kind that I have ever tried. 

 We had ripe tomatoes from the Freedom on 

 June loth, weighing from 1^^2 pounds and over. 

 The Freedom was ripe when those of other 

 varieties were hardly in bloom. They are the 

 finest tomatoes in this part of the country." 

 Mrs. S. C. RHEBERG, Covington, Ga. 



"I consider Freedom the best and earliest 

 tomato I have ever grown."

SPARKS^ EARLIANA. 



A VERY EARLY 

 NEW TOMATO. 



Sparks' Earliana is without a 

 doubt the earliest good tomato 

 grown. It was raised and developed 

 in a section of South Jersey, from 

 which probably more early tomatoes 

 are shipped than any place in the 

 United States. Earliana is not only 

 extremely early but of particularly 

 fine quality, which is very rare in an 

 early tomato. The flesh is remark- 

 ably solid, and it has few seeds. It 

 has the habit peculiar to many early 

 sorts of setting the bulk of its fruits 

 close to the center of the plant, so 

 that they are exposed to the sun and 

 thus ripen early. These qualities 

 make it particularly useful for a first 

 crop variety, and where more than 

 one sort is grown, Earliana should 

 head the list. The fruits which de- 

 velop later are not equal in quality 

 to those of the later and larger sorts.
