EXTRA EARLY TREE. 
This Ib the varietysoextenslvelyadvertised and sold at 26c por 
packet. It is certainl5'' a splendid tomato, and worthy of a place in 
any garden. Many large growers prefer it to any other sort on account 
of its earliness and quality. Another point that particularly recom- 
mends it is th^ factthatit reQnires no support even when laden with 
fruit, the stifl branches holding the tomatoes far abovctheground. The 
ftmit is t>f medium size, good red color, and excellent flavor. We have 
the true seed stock, and can supply it much lower than it was 
offered last season. F. B.Stokes, Franklin. Tenn., says: "I've tried 
four Extra Early Tree Tomato the last two years and it is the finest 
▼e ever grown or seen." J, E. Saukford, Toccoa, Ga., says: "Your 
Bxtra Early Tree Tomato is simply 'great.' It holds its fruit upright 
without any staking." Have^ou ever tried itP If you haven't 
don't fail to do so this year. Fkt. 15c, 2 pkts. 25c, os. 50o. 
MINNESOTA QUEEN. 
Blpened a littlo later than First of All this past year. 
Beautifal in shape and color. Vines vigorous in n'owth and 
wonderfally productive. We believe Minnesota Queen will 
produce ripe fruit at least ten days aliead of any other 
▼ariety, with the exception of First of All. The tomatoes 
are of li^ood size, smooth, solid and of a deep rich color, while 
the flavor and tlcsh is all that can be desired. Our own experience 
and the trials of gardeners and growers in various sections lead 
as to believe Minnesota Queen is the best type of early tomato that has 
ever been offered by the American seed trade. There is no early variety 
that is smoother or more productive, and one of the leading growers 
who tested it with 110 varieties writes: ** That in four successive 
asons be had found none that ripened earlier than this tomato."

Norfolk, Va.— I have tried your No. 1 (Shenandoah), and find thei

ties. Color darker than Livingstone's Beauty and fruit abou 
half again as large as that sort. The tomatoes are borne in cluster 
of from four to eight or ten, and a well grown bush presents a magnil 
cent appearance heavily laden with this immense fruit. It is one 0 
the best varieties for market gardeners that can be obtained as it

No one who has a private garden can afford to be without it, ai
