EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN, FARM AND LAWN 
TOMATO 
NEW TOMATO "ALACRITY" 
THE EARLIEST OF ALL BED TOMATOES 
ALACRITY produces a closer compact vine, set quite as 
freely with fine smooth tomatoes, which are usually ready to 
market ten days earlier than any other strain. The entire 
crop can be gathered generally in about three weeks from the 
time the ftrst fruit ripens, ALACRITY is undoubtedly the 
very best earliest scarlet-fruited tomato. Gardeners who are 
seeking to have good smooth tomatoes "first on market" can 
find nottilng to equal them. 
The plants are compact in growth, with short close-jointed 
branches, setting fruits very freely in the center. 
The tomatoes are quite uniform in size, averaging tlu-ee 
inches in diameter and from two 
to two and a half inches in depth; 
they are fleshy, solid, and excellent 
for shipping purposes. We have 
every confidence in offering this 
tomato both to small and large 
glowers. For market growing, it 
is unsurpassed, whilst it is equafiy 
valuable for the Gentleman Gar- 
dener or Amateur, Pkt., 25 cts. 
Earliana, Langdon's 
Northern Adirondack 
Cf__:_ This strain of this 
earlier and decidedly superior to 
much that is sold as Sparks' 
Earllana, and the extreme earU- 
ness of its large, smooth fruits 
makes it a very profitable tomato 
for market gardeners, as well as 
desirable for the home garden. 
The vines are small but vigorous 
and productive. The fruits are 
bright deep scarlet, medium to 
large, nearly round and exception- 
ally smooth for so early a variety. 
The fruits are borne in clusters 
near the base of the plant and the 
bulk of the crop ripens very early.
