Comal Springs Nursery, New Braunfels, Texas 
South. We are the largest tomato seed grow- 
ers in the South, and take seed from choice, 
full-ripe tomatoes. 
Burbank Tomato — A good smooth medium 
sized tomato, very prolific, introduced by Mr. 
Luther Burbank. We have thoroughly tested 
it here and it is the best bearer of all toma- 
toes; very smooth, sweet, very little acid; does- 
not blight. Per package seed, 25 cents. 
Tomato, John Baer — Very large, round, 
smooth tomato, very firm, a good shipper. The 
best tomato for the market. John Baer will 
take the best prices everywhere. This variety 
is very productive, does not split, and keeps 
well. A brilliant red color. We will double 
our field next year with John Baer because it 
paid better than any other variety. Price, per 
package, 15 cents; per ounce, $1.00. 
Locke’s New Triumph Pink Tomato — This 
tomato is an improved McGee tomato, having 
been selected and grown from the best pink 
tomato which was selected from a lot of Prof. 
N. C. McGee’s variety which bears his name. 
As Prof. McGee’s tomatoes were of different 
shades of pink and red, w-e have so improved 
this tomato that the plants grown from our 
seed will all produce pink tomatoes of large 
size. The tomato is round and smooth, and 
immensely productive, of large size — we had 
some weighing a pound each. This variety is 
unexcelled for black land. Uniform packages 
containing about 1,000 seeds, 15 cents each; 
per ounce, $1.00; per pound, $15.00. 
Tomato, President Roosevelt — The earliest, 
best and most productive of all the round, 
smooth, large tomatoes existing. Upon sev- 
eral years’ trial we found the new tomato 
President Roosevelt, the earliest, best, smooth, 
new tomato up to now existing. It is immense- 
ly productive, nearly all meat, having very 
little seed; firm and of very mild flavor. The 
growth of the plant is very vigorous, 5 to 6 
feet high; the foliage is large, the bright, scar- 
let, solid fruits weigh on an average of 1 pound 
each; in clusters of 4 to 8. Packages, 15 cents 
each; per ounce, $1.00; per pound, $15.00. 
Cucumber, Locke’s New Ideal — The best cu- 
cumber ever grown in Texas. Improved by us 
and acclimated to our conditions. Very vigor- 
ous and healthy, and grows throughout the 
summer. We raised the finest green cucum- 
bers in the middle of July and August. Flesh 
white and crisp, of excellent flavor. Early, and 
immensely productive. Color is dark green 
with pale green stripes. Without doubt the 
best cucumber for the market gardener. Splen- 
did for fall planting. Package, 10 cents; 1 
ounce, 20 cents; *4 pound, 50 cents; per pound, 
$1.50. 
Melon Seeds 
Alabama Sweet — The best watermelon for 
sandy soil. All our melon seed is taken from 
selected melons. 10 cents per ounce; 60 cents 
per pound. 
Cantaloupes 
Rocky Ford Cantaloupe — The best cantaloupe 
for the Southwest. Too well known to need 
any further description, home grown seed 
Price, per ounce, 15 cents; per pound, 60 cents. 
Onion Seed 
Bermuda Onion Seed — White Bermuda, light 
yellow, the best of all onions. $2.00 per pound. 
Seed Corn 
Mexican June Corn — This corn will bring a 
good crop if planted at any time from April 
to the middle of July. It stands our hot, dry 
summer well. The seed, and every stalk of 
poor quality is cut out before it pollinates the 
other corn. This corn is adapted for our con- 
ditions, as we have grown it for several years. 
Price, $2.00 per bushel. 
Dawson Early, or Sure Cropper Corn — We 
are glad we can offer seed of this corn. It is 
the surest corn to plant, matures early, makes 
a low, stout stalk, and can stand more drought 
than any other variety known. 
Best for our semi-arid country. Our seed 
corn is all raised on our grounds, without irri- 
gation, and is well selected by myself. Price, 
$2.00 per bushel. Place your orders for seed 
corn early.
