In this new seedling variety, originated by Mr. F. H. Hos- 
ford, of northern Vermont, all the qualities desirable in a 
Tomato are combined in a degree not heretofore attained. 
It is the earliest large Tomato cultivated, ripening but a 
few days later than “Little Gem,” and averaging in size 
larger than “ Acme.” It is of that glossy, bright red color so 
desirable in a market Tomato; shape, perfect, globular, 
slightly flattened, and perfectly smooth : flesh solid, and of 
a pure, rich flavor: skin, firm and smooth, indicative of the 
best shipping qualities. They were exhibited by us at the 
last Grand Exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society, held-at Boston in connection with the Exnibitiou 
of the American Pomological Society, was awarded the first 
prize as the best seedling. Price, 25 cents per packet; five 
packets, $1,00.
