MATCHLESS Tomato 
VERY BEST LARGE-FRUITED BRIGHT RED TOMATO 
The Matchless is worthy of its name ; in beauty of coloring 
and symmetry of form, it is indeed without a peer. The vines, 
are of strong, vigorous growth, well set with fruit ; the foliage is 
very rich dark green in color. The engraving accurately shows 
the form and also the remarkable solidity of a section. They 
are entirely free from core, of a rich cardinal-red color, and are 
not liable to crack from wet weather. The fruits are of the 
largest size, which size is maintained throughout the season, the 
healthy growth of foliage continuing until killed by frost. Had 
we to confine ourselves to one variety it would be. the Matchless, 
for certainly no other Tomato will produce a full crop of extra- 
large scarlet fruits, so smooth, handsome and marketable as the 
Matchless. The flesh is so firm that ripe specimens picked from 
the vine will keep in good marketable condition for two weeks. 
Its fine quality, solidity and long-keeping character have already 
made the Matchless Tomato a great favorite for both market and 
family use. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., £lb. 75 cts., Ib. $2.50. 
MATCHLESS TOMATO 
Quarter Century Tomato 
S TONE Tomato 
This is the heaviest and most solid fruited of the large to- 
matoes of good quality. Our stock is distinctly superior to most 
of that offered under this name, being more uniform, better 
colored and larger. Vines vigorous and productive. Fruit 
round, apple-shaped, very large, very deep red in color and aston- 
ishingly heavy. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., Jib. 75 cts., Ib. 
$2.50. 
The vine is dwarf and compact, like the well-known Dwarf Champion. The 
fruit is scarlet-red, of medium size, exceptionally smooth and of excellent 
quality. This tomato is one of the best and we feel sure that the results from its planting will be highly satisfactory. We heartily recommend 
It, either for the table or for canning purposes. Earlier than the Dwarf Stone. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., Jib. $1.00, Ib. $3.50. 
£xtra £arT£ P URPLE X2I M ILAN Turnip 
Similar to the White Milan, except that the roots are a little flatter and a beautiful purple- 
red on the upper portion. All in all, these Milan turnips leave nothing more to be desired in 
the way of an extra early garden turnip. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., lib. 20 cts., Ib.60 
cts. 
EXTRA EARLY MILAN TURNIP 
Purple Top White Globe 
Turnip 
A variety that is globular and nearly as large 
as the Pomeranean White Globe, of beautiful ap- 
pearance and the white flesh is of most excellent quality, equally desirable for table or stock. It 
keeps well and is a fine market sort. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Jib. 20 cts., Ib. 60 cts. 
C ow Horn, or Long White Turnip 
This variety is pure white, except a little shade of green at the top and is carrot-like in form, 
growing nearly half out of the ground and slightly crooked. It is delicate and well flavored of very 
rapid growth and has obtained considerable favor as a market sort for fall and early winter use. 
Also for turning under for green manure. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Jib. 20 cts., Ib. 60 Cts. 
Early Purple Top, Strap Leaved Turnip 
This is an early variety and a great favorite for table use ; form flat, but thicker than Purple 
Top Milan and of medium size ; color purple or dark ^ed above ground, white below ; flesh white, 
fine grained and tender; leaves few, entire, upright in growth. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Jib. 
20 cts., Ib. 50 cts.
