seeds, and of sweet flavor. When ripened under the warm sun they are a rich pur- 
plish-red. It is characteristic of the variety to produce fruit rather than vines. It 
does not send out laterals readily, but seems to plit all efforts toward perfecting and 
ripening the fruit, and when the laterals are sent out they grow the fruit set on them 
rather than seek on growing to vines. Price lo <5ls. 
Tomato, The Aristocrat. An excellent new sort, resembling in habit of growth 
and foliage the “ Dwarf Champion,” but the color of the fruit is a fine rich glossy 
red ; solid and smooth, and in size from medium to large. Price 5 6ts. ; oz., 25 6ts. 
Tomato, Dwarf Chamfion. The “ Dwarf Champion ” Tomato is one of the most 
valuable sorts introduced in many years. It is entirely distinct in habit of growth 
and foliage from any other sort. It is dwarf and compact in habit, tbe plant growing 
stiff and upright, with very thick and short-jointed stems. In a comparative test with 
leading varieties it has proven itself remarkably early. Always smooth, symmetrical 
and attractive in appearance; flesh solid and ripens well. Price 5 <fts. ; oz., 25 dts. 
Tomato, Matchless (Improved Trophy). The fruits are of the largest size, and 
the size of the fruit is maintained throughout the season, the heaithy growth of foli- 
age continuing until killed by frost. Had we to confine ourselves to one variety, it 
would be “ The Matchless,” for certainly no other Tomato will produce extra large 
fruits, so smooth, handsome and marketable. The skin is remarkably tough and 
solid, so that ripe specimens picked from the vine will keep in good marketable con- 
dition for two weeks. Its fine quality, solidity, and long-keeping character have 
already made it a great favorite for market and family use. So great an improvement 
on the “ Trophy” that we drop that variety. Price 5 <5ls. ; oz., 25 dls.
