The Great Mammoth Tree Tomalo. 
This variety has created the greatest sci:L.atlon since 
Its Introduction three years ago. The past season it 
grew to a height of over 12 feet, and produced toma- 
toes of enormous size and the most delicious flavor. 
All who have tasted the A'.cmmc th Tree are loud in 
their praise of its fine quality, wonderful growth and 
beauty of fruit. We have grown almost every tomato 
that has been introduced for a number of years, and 
must confess we have never seen anything that could 
iCitual the Mammoth In growth or productiveness. 
J«aiJt season we procured a large supply of the see<l 
but sold out a number of times, and were obliged to 
pay an enormous price to the originator for all the 
seed he could furni? h. Don't fall to try It this year.

Golden Queen. 
Probably more extensively grown than any other 
yellow variety. It It solid, very smooth, free from 
ridges; large iu size, ripeus up ear!v,und Is a very 
handsome sort. The larger and riper fruits are fre- 
quently tinged with red at the blossom end. None 
are better for preserving or slicing, the liandsome 
golden yellow slices make a beautiful contrast in adish 
with red tomatoes. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, k lb. 75c,
