£lsscx’ Hybrid Tomato* 
Farmers and Market Gardeners, 
who want a.good Tomato that al¬ 
ways grow® smooth and handsome 
should try the Essex Hybrid. 
The flesh being very hard and sol¬ 
id makes it one of the best Toma¬ 
toes for marketing or shipping, as 
it will keep a considerable time 
after ripening without rotting. Ii 
is very productive and a vigorous 
grower; fruits very evenly on the 
vines without any rough fruit, 
hardly ever bearing any fruit 
which is not fit for market. Per 
pkt. 15 cts.; per oz. 60 cts. 
Pure German JUZUtete 
Saint Paul Tomato « 
The farmers and stock breeders of this coun¬ 
try have long been on the lookout for the “best 
forage plant” something to fall back upon in an 
emergency when the hay crop is likely to fail. 
For this purpose I believe nothing has 
as yet been found which will com¬ 
pare with Pure German Millet. It will grow 
in almost any climate, in wet or dry, rich or 
poor land; never falls down; ripens gradually 
which gives ample time to harvest it; can be cut 
with a mower and stacked as hay, or with a 
reaper and bound as wheat or cats; will yield 
from two to four tons of good hay, and 40 to 75 
bushels of seed to the acre; and requires about 
60 days to perfect a crop. It will grow from 
four to nine feet high; a blade resembling that 
of young corn comes out alternately about every 
five inches on the stalk. When well matured 
the stalks are soft and will be readily eaten by 
all kinds of stock. The seeds ere no less valua¬ 
ble than the hay, as they are readily consumed 
by Horses, Sheep and Fowls. Two to three 
pecks of seed is required per acre. 1 believe the 
“Pearl Millet which has been pushed so exten¬ 
sively is not to be compared with this in ac¬ 
tual value. Price per pkt. 10 cts.; pint 30 cts. 
quart, 60 cts., postpaid. Per peck by express 
or freight, $1.50. 
A new variety of Minnesota origin which is 
sufficient guarantee of its extreme earlmess. It 
Is perfectly smooth and of good form, very 
solid and firm, thus making a good shipping 
fruit. Its uniform large size, solidity and fine 
flavor will keep it in the front rank as a table 
or canning tomato. It cans 12 lbs. to the bushel 
more than the Trophy. .Color cherry red. Per 
pkt. 15 cts.; oz 60 cts.
