TWO NEW TOMATOES. 
THE CONQUEROR. 
Ten clays earlier tl&an any oilier variety 
known. 
Prof. Tliurber, the well known editor of the Agriculturist, 
thus describes it: 
“ I had over a dozen varieties, including this, among which 
were several novelties, as well as those accepted as standard 
varieties. All were treated precisely alike, from the time of 
sowing to that of fruiting. I think it a moderate statement 
to say that the Conqueror was ten days earlier than any 
other in the garden. By earliness 1 do nor refer to the ripen¬ 
ing of a single specimen, for the Conqueror rip ned one 
fruit astonishingly early, but 1 mean that the vines of this 
would afford a good table supply at least ten days before 
those of any other variety. 1 would also add. that in color, 
shape, and quality, this variety was highly satisfactory.” 
Price, 25 cts. per packet; 5 packets, $1.00. 
THE GOL.DE ;V TROPHY, 
a sport of the well known Trophy—and its counterpart in 
shape, size, and general appearance, of a rich golden yellow 
color, a valuable acquisition.
