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 
has made a strong marlcet 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., 
J^-pound 60c., pound $2.25. 
MAY'S New Globe 
THIS IS one of the very first varieties to ripen, aiia 
in addition to this its tomatoes are larger than 
those 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 
have few seeds while the firm, thick rose-color 
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 
Northern Grown Seeds, which we guarantee are not the nearest 
to perfection, but perfection itself. Packet lOc., ounce 35c.,

MAY'S New Coreless 
ANEW VARIETY that has been evolved after much experimenting 
and testing. The depression at the stem end has been al- 
most entirely eliminated, making it a most profitable canning 
variety on account of the small amount of waste. It is quite 
free from green core; round in shape, bright red in color, with 
solid flesh of fine texture and delicious flavor. It is an excellent 
keeper and one of the best for shipping long distances. The plant 
is a vigorous grower and very prolific, bearing its fruit in clusters 
of from four to seven tomatoes, all of which attain marketable 
size, ripen evenly up to the stem and are very attractive and 
tempting in ap- 
l_ pearance. Pack-

MAY'S PONDEROSA 
ONSTROUS in size, often measuring 18 inches in 
circumference and weighing 2, 3 and even 4 
pounds, the Ponderosa is one of the best 
varieties, in flavor, appearance and all 
other qualities, on the market. It 
is perfect in form and its skin is 
smooth and glowing crimson. 
It is absolutely free from 
wrinkles or blemishes and 
ripens evenly and thorough- 
ly. The flesh is solid and so 
free from seeds that whereas 
ordinary tomatoes yield 100 
pounds per acre Ponderosa 
yields only 10 pounds. Free 
from rot, but its crowning merits 
are quality and flavor — delicious if 
sliced, savory when cooked and excel 
lent when canned. Very early, often being 
picked 10 weeks from sowing. Packet lOc, 
ounce 30c., J^-potmd $1.00, pound $3.50.
