Try the New 
Majestic Tomato 
This grand variety we claim to be the largest 
and most productive kind *n existence. It 
yielded 1100 bushels per acre on our place last 
season, grown under ordinary conditions, and 
will, we believe, double it by special culture. 
The fruit is not coarse and rough like 
other large sorts but is of fine shape and 
unsurpassed quality. The seed is scarce 
this year and sells at 40 cents per packet 
of 100 seeds. We desire: however, to 
place our catalogue in the hands of 
every one who has a garden and have 
decided to send a trial packet of 25 seeds 
FREE if you mention paper in which 
you saw this advertisement.
