EAKLIANA, TOMATO. C. X. F. Strain 
As a crop, C. X. P. Strain of Earliana Tomato 
ripens a week ahead of any other variety coming 
into market when other sorts are ripening a few 
scattered fruits. This fact makes the Earliana the 
most profitable variety ever introduced. The fruit 
is remarkable for its large size, perfect form, 
bright red color, and its delicious flavor which is 
"just right" for the palate of an epicure. 
The Fruit does not crack; is solid and meaty, 
with few seeds, and is unequalled in quality by 
any other variety. 
The Plant is of medium size, strong and vigor- 
ous, setting the fruits freely close to the center 
stems. Pkt., 15o. 
JUNE PINK, TOMATO, Langdon's 
Northern Adirondack Strain. 
Many markets require a pink-skinned Tomato, 
and the June Pink has proven itself, bv all odds 
the very earliest and most productive pink-fruited 
Tomato ever introduced. It is, in reality, a pink 
Earliana; has the habit ot growth and the plant 
is exactly the same as the Earliana. It is enorm- 
ously productive, growing to set and develop good- 
sized fruits throughout the season. The seed we 
offer IS of the very highest grade. Pkt 10c ■
