ALNEER BROTHERS RELIABLE SEEDS, ROCKFORD, ILL 
TOMATO. 
I ivinfr«frkn^« A new variety of exceptional merit. It is of 
i^ivingsion S vxiooe beautiful globe shape, which permits of a 
greater number of slices being taken than from flat-fruited sorts. Among 
the first to ripen, although of large size, very smooth, firm fleshed, few 
seeds, ripens evenly; color a beauiiiul glossy rose, tinged puiTple. Pkt. 7c, 
oz. 25c, 1/4 lb. 80c, 1/2 lb. $1.5'', lb $2 90. 
P/wirlofrtea Nrk Afin The vines are strong and vigorous and easily 
ronaerosa, l-^o. WU enormous weight of fruit. To- 
matoes weighing nearly four pounds have been grown and specimens 
weighing two and three pounds are of common occurrence. Pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, 
1/4 lb. $1.10, 1/2 lb. $2.10, lb. $4.00. 
Pai'lifs.ef Iiin«» Pinlr This is a variety, similar in habit to the 
i:.ariicaL juiic i iiin. “Earliana,” differing only in its color 
which is pink in color instead of red. The plant is neat and compact, 
branching freely, with fruit hanging in clusters. Under exactly the same 
conditions as Earliana, the June Pink yielded exactly the same results. 
Earliness, blight resisting, long and heavy yielding, are its main character¬ 
istics. An excellent shipper on account of its reasonably tough skin. Will 
take a place at the head of the pink sorts. Pkt. 7c, oz, 25c, Vi lb. 80c, 
V 2 lb. $1.50, Ib. $2.90. 
Cl*iinSOn Kins more symmetrical in shape than the Ponderosa and 
® is much thicker through from stem to blossom-end; 
in fact, so marked is this characteristic that it is frequently almost round. 
The color is brilliant scarlet-crimson, untinged with purple, and ripens up 
almost completely to the stem. The Crimson King, like the Ponderosa, is 
almost seedless. The flesh is firm and meaty, solid as beefsteak, and of 
superb quality. It is enormously prolific and early for so large a tomato. 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, Vi lb $1.10, 1/2 lb. $2.10, lb. $4.00. 
Alneer’s Great Giant Tree Tomato"

feet high, trained on trellis. Fruit is medium to large 
size, of meaty and luscious flavor. Immense bearers, from 
60 to 100 pounds on vine. Pkt. 10c. =
