Barteldes 
Kansas Standard 
One of the best tomatoes for 
the Middle West. A true to- 
mato of the potato leaved class. 
It is of rapid, vigorous growth, 
with strong heavy stalks, which 
stand up well unless, which is 
often the case, they are pulled 
down with over-abundant fruit. 
It begins blooming when only 
six or seven inches high, at- 
tains a height of from two and 
a half to three feet and sets its 
fruit— a rare habit in any 
tomato — from the first blos- 
soms. The fruit is of a bright, 
glossy red color and is produced 
m clusters of from' four to five 
tomatoes. In shape the fruit 
is round, slightly flattened, 
ripening clear to the stem, per- 
' fectly smooth. It has very few 
seeds; the meat is thick and 
firm ' : and of a most excellent

This tomato is a first-rate keeper and shipper on 
account of its tough skin, a fact which makes it also 
very resistant against influences of insects, which 
are so destructive to other varieties. Highly recom- 
mended. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; % lb., $1.20; lb., $4.25.

Chalk's Early Jewel Tomatoes 
Of most handsome appearance, finest flavor, and early ripening 
qualities, this new bright red Tomato is destined to become a 
leader among the already numerous popular varieties. In time 
of ripening it is within a week or ten days later than "Spark's 
Earliana," the well known earliest of all bright red tomatoes. 
The extremely handsome fruits are of the finest table qualities, 
possessing remarkably sweet flavor. They are solidly meaty, 
having small seed cavities and are not apt to crack. The plants 
are of robust growth, strong, producing fruits throughout the 
season, and for this reason we recommend to plant "Chalk's Jewel" 
not only for an early crop producer, but as one which mav be 
planted as a main crop as well. 
For general garden planting, where customers wish to limit 
their choice to one variety, we can safely recommend "Chalk's 
Early Jewel" as the variety which will give the best satisfaction.
