SEEDS OF SPECIAL MERIT. 
This is without doubt one of the best Tomatoes 
for market gardeners. It is also a good variety for 
family use. The plant grows stiff and upright with 
very thick and short stems, dwarf and compact. It 
ripens very early and yields enormously. It is of 
exceedingly fine flavor, smooth and solid. Price, 
oz. 20c., lb. $3.

ance. The color is glossy crimson with a slight purplish 
tinge. It grows in clusters of four and five, letaiuing its 
largo size late in ihe season; very solid with a tough 
skin, making it very desirable for uiaiking aud shipping.

The Mikado Tomato. 
The largest early variety in cultivation; certainly no 
more distinct or valuable Tomato has ever been intro- 
duced. One of the moat remarkable features about this 
variety ia the fact that, notwithstanding that it produces 
perhaps the largest fruit of any sort in cultivation, it is at 
the same time one of the very earliest to ripen; generally 
we find that we secure earliness at the expense of size, but 
the Mikado Tomato seemingly reverses the rule. The 
Mikado diifers from all other Tomatoes in its immense 
size, and the Tomatoes are produced in immense clusters, 
are perfectly solid, generally smooth, but sometimes 
irregular. The color is purplish red, like that of the Acme, 
while the variety has all the solidity that characterizes the 
Trophy. It is not unusual for single fruits of this variety 
to weigh from 1 fo li lbs. each. The foliage of the Mikado 
Tomato alone shows the distinctiveness of the variety, for 
It is whole or entire, while in all other varieties the leaves 
are cut or serrated. Whether for slicing or for cooking 
purposes, the variety is unsurpassed. Piice, pkts., oz.

Dwarf Clinmpion Tomato. 
MILLO M.UZE OE BRANCHING DHOEMA. 
This variety is from South America. It is much 
superior to the Egyptian or Eice varieties, being 
much earlier and producing wonderfully. It has 
been grown near Sacramento, end from a single 
seed four and five stalks have been produced aver- 
aging five large heads 8 inches long, loaded with 
seed. It is a valuable forage plant and can be cut 
at any stage for feed, and shoots up again rapidly; 
cured when heading for dry fodder and cattle eat it 
ravenously. Five lo eight pounds per acre. 10c.
