New Early June Pink 
The Earliest Pink in Cultivation—Medium Size, Round, Smooth 
and Solid. 
The earliest of the pink fruited Tomatoes, similar to the 
popular scarlet-fruited Earliana in growth of vine, shape and 
size of fruit and time of maturing. This is of exceptional 
value to market gardeners, who want an early, pink-fruited 
Tomato. The vines are compact and branch freely, bearing 
their handsome, good-sized deep pink fruits in large clusters 
continuously throughout the season until frost- It is very 
popular as a market and shipping variety and most desirable 
for the home garden. Our seed is superior to that commonly 
offered by others and will produce fruits earlier, larger, smooth¬ 
er, of better shape and color. Pkt. 8c; oz. 35c; 2 oz. 65c; Vi

the center. Most valuable for the market gardener and very 
desirable for home use. Pkt. 8c; oz. 35c; 2 oz. 65c; Vi lb.

New Tree Tomato 
Firm, Solid Thick Flesh, Large Meaty Center 
This grand Tomato owes its popularity to its stiff, vigorous, 
upright growth, with fruit well above the soil, and to the 
earliness with which it reaches its maturity. In color the 
fruit is purplish pink, form always round and symmetrical and 
of medium size. New Tree Tomato is immensely productive, 
clusters of four to six fruits being produced in abundance 
along the stem. All of the fruits grow to a marketable size. 
The table qualities are the best as this is a good slicing 
variety, the seed cells being surrounded by rich, heavy flesh. 
This feature also makes it desirable for canning. As a ship¬ 
per it stands-jup remarkably well, arriving at its destination 
in fully as good condition as when it left the _ field. This 
wonderful Tomato leaves nothing more to be desired, as it is 
mild, pleasant and of delicious flavor. Being a strong, ro¬ 
bust grower, it has a broad foliage which prevents sunburn 
in hot sections. Pkt. 10c; oz. 33c; 2 oz. 60c; Vi lb. $1.10;
