It is some time since such a high honour has been granted to a 
Tomato.” ,, _ 
Quality is Unsurpassed.— I have grown your Sunrise 
Tomato since first it came out. and I consider it the best Tomato 
ever sent out. It is earlier than most, no trouble to set. nice

unsurpassed.”— Mr. W. H. Blake. Head Gardener to the

it has no equal. 'Xmas week I gathered 30 lbs., to-day have

been required. The fruit is of the richest colour and flavour. 
I wisli you could see them. Several people have seen them. I heir
