Redfield Beauty Tomato. 
The most thoroughly satisfactory tomato that can he grown in Atlanta and vicinity. Every market gar 
dener knows it. Every home gardener who has ever planted it knows this to he a fact. It’s the right size, the 
right earliness, the right shape, the right color, the right hearing qualities, the right eating qualities, in fact 
its an all-right tomato in every respect. Its vigorous growth, heavy and long-hearing qualities, its earliness 
its hardiness, its perfect shaped fruit and its comparative freedom from rot under the most trying conditions 
of growth has made it a favorite wherever planted. It’s a glossy crimson color, slightly tinged with purple . 
Grows in clusters of 8 to 5 fruits. The most regular in growth of any variety known. Retains its large size 
until all are picked. It cannot he excelled for meatiness and solidity. Skin thin hut tough and it does not 
hurst easily on the vine. A splendid variety where they have to he hauled long distances to market over rough 
roads. In competitive tests hy our Atlanta market gardeners it has distanced all of the noted varieties put out 
hy Northern seed houses. It is now at the head. Packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 20 cents ; 34 pound, 50 cents ; pound, $1.65. 
New Stone. 
A splendid main crop variety of extra large size and 
bright red color. One of the most desii-ahle varieties 
for canning and for planting for home gardens for a 
late crop. This variety makes, under general condi- 
tions of growth, prohahly the largest yield per acre of 
any. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 34 pound, 50 
cents; pound, $1.60. 
A.cnie. 
A standard variety of reddish purple color. Would 
he one of the best if it did not rot and split so badly. 
Early and medium size. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 
cents; 34 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.65. 
Pear vVHaped Xomato. 
These little pear shaped varieties are fine for pick- 
ling and preserves, hut for that purpose only, being 
too small for table use sliced. They are of strong vig- 
orous growth and the most productive of any, the 
vines being literally covered with the small fruits. 
There are two varieties, the red and yellow. We can 
supply either at 5 cents per packet. 
Ponderossi. 
This is a favorite with a few gardeners in this sec- 
tion. It is the largest of all tomatoes, but requires, for 
success, higher cultivation than the great majority 
will give it. The great difficulty is the great number 
of worthless, ill-shaped and cracked specimens this 
variety produces. We have seen it many times make 
less than a single perfect specimen out of 50 fruits. 
Its quality when perfectly formed is good, hut no bet- 
ter than Redfleld Beauty and other carefully bred sorts 
Unless you are prepared to give it extra attention our 
advice is to take some other variety. Packet, 10 cents; 
34 ounce, 20 cents ; ounce, 30 cents. 
Dwarf CHampion. 
This is a favorite here. The only variety of suffi- 
ciently stiff stalky growth to hold the fruit up off the 
ground. It is entirely distinct in appearance with its 
potato-like leaves and upright compact growth. Fruit 
is of medium size, round and very smooth. Not as 
heavy hearer as many of the others, hut imperfect 
fruit is rare with this variety, seed crop of this variety 
is very short this season. Packet, Scents; 34 ounce, 15 
cents; ounce, 25 cents; 34 pound, 75 cents; pound. 
$2.75.
