MATCHLESS TOMATO 



Quarter Century Tomato 



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., ^Ib. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



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., 02. 25 cts., Jib. 75 cts., lb. 

 $2.50. 



EXTRA EARLY MILAN TURNIP 



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, lb. $3.50. 



F xtra F.arly pURPLE 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., Jib. 20 cts., lb. 60 

 cts. 



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., lb. 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., lb. 60 cts. 



Early Pufplc 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., lb. 50 cts.
