THE BEST TOMATO 
Early, Solid, Enormously Productive, nnd of 
exeellent flavor. Is a cross between the Early Smooth Red 
and Feejee. Fruit of perfect form, smooth, bright red color, 
very solid, having small seed-cells, and no hard core 
at flic center, being of the same delicate texture and 
brilliant color throughout. IMpenswitb the earliest. Fruit 
often vt'righing ' i to 20 ounces. Stands tho 
drouth better than any other variety. 
By the Potomac Fruit-Growers' Society It was pronounced 
of superior excellence in size, form.coloV, solidity, evenness 
ol ripentng, and flavor. 
L. J. Tttttle, Assistant Treasurer, United State*, says: I 
find the " Arlington " has In a remarkable degree all the re- 
guifiites of a perfect Tomato. I know nothing that equals it. 
The President's Gardener BAya: The Arlington Tomato, 
tested under my supervision In the President's gardens, was 
superior to any other kind. 
D. W. Harrington, Washington, D. C, savs: I tested it on 
my farm the past season side by side wita the "Trophv," 
"General Grant," and "Feejee," and while mv other plants 
were older and larger when set, the "Arlington "ripened 
fully ten days before any of the others, and has the further 
peculiarity that the same vines bear an abundance of fruit 
until the frost Kills them, while all other kinds with me have, 
required an extra set of plants for late fruit. Its solidity and 
flavor alone are enough to mark its superiority over any- 
thing I have ever seen. 
Many letters, from personB who have tested it the past 
season, speak in the strongest terms of its superiority over 
all others.
