BUOKETE STATE.- Ir 
Originated in Ohio, and said to '^'i 
be one ot the best main crop 
varieties. Color darker than 
Livingston's Beauty and 
fruit about half again as ( 
large as that sort. The toma- 
toes are born inclustersoffrom 
four to eight or ten, and a well 
grown bush presents a magnifi- 
cent appearance heavily laden 
with this immense fniit. It is 
one of the best varieties for ^ -x,

iiEMON BLUSH.— In some sections this is considered the mcsi 
oert'ect vellow tomato ever introduced, but our own trials compel u 
to say that it is not ctinal to Golden Gem In appearance or keepln 
qualities. The Lemon Blush is a strong vigorous grower, producir 
fruit of good quality. The skin is a bright lemon yellow shade often 
tinged with a faint shade of rose, making a ftioat beautiful color, it 
ripens medium early and can be depended "Pon to produce a goo 
crop in ordinary seasons. Pkt. lOo, OB. 2.5o, H l*. 76o, lb. $3.0t»

We believe Minnesota aueen will produce ripe fruit at le»st 
ten day 8 ahead of any other variety with the exception ot Flrsi 
of All. The tomatoes are of good size, smooth, solid and of » Otcp 
rich color, while the flavor and flesh is all that can be desired. Ou 
own experience and the trials of gardeners and growers in varioui 
sections lead us to believe that Minnesota Queen is the l>eat type 
early tomato that has ever been offered by the American seed traiie
