The illustration gives a fair idea of its sUe and smoothness. The color is a 
rich, cardinal red. The skin is so tough that It is a splendid keeper and shipper, 
and is less liable to crack in wet weather than any other tomato. Unsurpassed 
for market or table. The plant is a strong grower, and is very productive, 
fruit is free 'from core, and the seed spaces are small. The leaves are of 
a rich, dark green color, and very luxuriant, indicating great ability to 
produce fruit of the largest size throughout the entire season. It stands 
at the front aa the earliest bright red tomato. See cut.

Gentlemen: 
My tomatoes are 8 inches high; everybody wants your "llr>t 
of \\\" and the "Peerless." I have sold hundreds of plants miles 
uruund In all directions, and will not be able to supply half my 
trade. I have two hot beds and four cold frames. If I get tinit- 
luter I will send you a picture, as I am surely giving your toma- 
toes a boost, as your seeds are true. I have used other seed, 
but none as good as yours.

Golden Yellow Ponderosa 
Excellent as a Salad Tomato 
Another wonderful sort, in every way similar to the well-known 
Ponderosa, or No. 4 00. which has been a standard pink variety for 
years, the only difference being in color, which is a beautiful golden 
yellow, the richest shade yet attained by any variety. The superior 
flavor of the yellow varieties is bringing them into favor as a table 
fruit more each season. We believe the height of perfection has 
been attained in this grand new yellow Ponderosa. Pocket, 10 cts.;
