every known kind claiming earliness, and lieats them all by a week or 
ten days. It is equally de-sirable for both market and home use on ac- 
count of its rich color, and invariably brings the hiirhest prices in the 
market. The tomatoes are of good size, smooth, solid and of the finest 
flavor. It is the only thoroughly first class extra early variety for gen- 
eral use we have ever found, and none of our patrons who desire an ex- 
tra early tomato should fail to secure the First of All. We have 
thousands of testimonials regarding this tomato. Pkt. lOc, 3

Acme, the old standard variety iZ^A^l^^; 
will grow no other sort than this old standard tomato. It is a sure 
cropper and quite early for a tomato of its size. The color is a crimson 
tinted with a light pinkish shade. Flesh solid, fine 
grained and of good (inality. It, like many others 
of the old sorts, i.s really very de-sirablefor general 
use, and is therefore extensively grown by gar- 
deners who feel that, while perhaps not quite so 
productive or early as 
some varieties, it can be 
depended upon for an 
average crop under ordi- 
nary circumstances. Our 
seed is selected. Pkt. 5C(
