"Northern Grown" Seeds Are Best 
May's Solid Heart, Fine Rich Red Tomatoes 
MAY'S NEW STONE 
THIS IS grown more extensively than any other variety 
for a main crop by market gardeners and large 
growers. It is an improved strain of the great 
Livingston Stone Tomato introduced in 1889, and 
lias made a strong market for itself entirely by 
virtue of its merits. It is a heavy yielder and 
the fruit is bright red, very large, solid and 
smooth and ripens evenly to the stem without 
a crack. It has no hard core, is not subject 
to rot and is a good keeper and an excellent 
shipper. Its quality is the very best and it is 
especially good for canning and preserving, 
being in high demand in all canning and 
pickle factories. Packet lOc, ounce 25c., 
}^-pound 75c., pound $2.50. 
MAY'S NEW GLOBE 
THIS IS one of the very first varieties to ripen, and 
in addition to this its tomatoes are larger than 
lliose of any other early variety. They are smooth 
of skin, a dark glossy red that is almost tinged with 
purple when fully ripe. They ripen evenly and 
liave few seeds while the firm, thick rose-colored 
flesh is particularly sweet and delicious. Be- 
cause of its getting on the market before 
any other very large tomato it brings a very 
good price and is therefore one of the best for the 
market gardener and trucker to include in his list of May's 
.\orthern Grown Seeds, which we guarantee are not the nearest 
to perfection, but perfection itself. Packet lOc, ounce 35c.,
