STONE.—I have a large stock of strictly 
pure Jtnd very^ fine seed of this grand old stand¬ 
ard variety. I have been furnishing large quan¬ 
tities of? seed to eanners for several years and 
have yet to receive my first complaint. The 
Stone has cdme to be recognized as the best of 
all the. standard varieties. The color is a de¬ 
sirable bright red. The fruit is of large size, 
perfectly smooth, and of best quality. It is a 
famous tomato in all tomato sections, and a fa¬ 
vorite for canning everywhere. The plants are 
peoduet-iv.e, and the fruit stands shipment well. 
As stated above, T have a very fine stock of this 
seed and will be- pleased to offer special prices 
•n large lots* and I know my stock will please 
you. Pkt* 5<r; oz-. 29c; 1-4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 
©HAWS EARLY JEWEL.— Fruits 
uniformly lafge, thick through, more solid and 
finer quality than most of the early varieties. 
Average well-grown fruits are from 2 1-2 to 8 
inches in diameter, which is large enough for 
market varieties. The plant is very productive, 
and one, of the most profitable to grow for main 
crop or early market, ripening only a few days 
after the Earliana, and is equally as good a car¬ 
rier and a decidedly better quality. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 25c ; 1 1-4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50. 
MATCHLESS.— This great tomato is well 
named. The color is cardinal red. The skin is 
tough, making it a good keeper and shipper, re¬ 
markably free from cracking, and unsurpassed as a 
market or table variety. The plant is a strong grower 
and very productive. The fruit is free from core, 
with small seed spaces. It stands at the front as a 
large, bright red, main crop sort, and is highly recom¬ 
mended. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1-4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50. 
SPARK'S EARLIANA.—One of the most largely 
grown of the first early varieties. Plants are quite 
hardy, rather slender, open branches which are well 
set with fruit, nearly all of which ripens evenly early 
in the season. If you want extra early tomatoes, per- 
fcaps yen could not do better than plant Earliana. Our 
strain of seed is of the very best. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 
1-4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50. 
LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE . — In time of ripening 
this is dose with the first earlies. It is an exceedingly 
productive variety, and is a remarkably good keeper, 
very few varieties surpassing it in this respect. In 
shape it is very distinct, being globe shape, with quite 
a large percentage of elongated fruits. It is a very 
beautiful variety, and on account of its shape, one 
that permits of a great number of slices to be taken 
from each fruit. The quality is very fine, being mild, 
pleasant and of delicious flavor; unsurpassed for slic¬ 
ing or to eat from the hand. An excellent variety for 
greenhouse work, for outdoor planting or for field crop 
•aot a large acreage. The color is of a beautiful pur- 
m cast, similar to the Acme. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; 
b. $1.00; lb. $3.50. 
LIVINGSTON’S FAVORITE.— In proportion 
to size it is one of the heaviest tomatoes grown. It is 
large, smooth, fine quality, and very productive, and 
an all-around good sort. Pkt. 5c ; oz. 20c ; 1-4 lb. 50c; 
lb. $1.50. 
NEW CORELESS.—A perfect globe-shaped of 
medium to large size tomatoes of recent introduction. 
This new shape is preferred by many growers; it is al¬ 
most round, being about the same diameter each way. 
There is little or no depression at the stem end, mak¬ 
ing it very economical for all uses. It is very produc¬ 
tive, and the fruit is borne in clusters at close inter¬ 
vals all along the vines. Fine for slicing, the seeds 
cells being surrounded by bright red, heavy, meaty and 
delicious flesh, which is slightly more acid than in 
some other varieties. In color it is a rich, bright red. 
On account of its superior solidity it is a good long¬ 
distance shipper. The vine is strong and a most lux¬ 
uriant grower. A main crop for eanners, for the home 
garden or for market that, when better known, will be 
highly appreciated. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c ; 1-4 lb. $1.00; 
lb. $3.50. 
JUNE PINK. —This is a deep pink or purplish- 
colored tomato, having the same characteristic of 
growth and fruiting as Spark’s Earliana, while it is 
full as early and possesses greater sweetness and free¬ 
dom from acidity. It originated as a chance sport in 
a field of Earliana. The plants are quite hardy and 
adapted to the practice of most gardeners who start 
their plants very early and have large plants well 
hardened early in the spring. Both skin and flesh are 
of a deep pink or purplish tint; of sweet, mild flavor, 
and very popular for an early market variety. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 30c; 1-4 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00.

YELLOW PEAR.—This is a very pretty little 
tomato, similar in shape to a pear. The fruit is rather 
small, only about the size of a large plum. Very de¬ 
sirable for pickling and preserving. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 
1-4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50. 
PARAGON (Britton’s Best).—This is a favorite 
market variety and, next to Stone, one of the most 
popular canning sorts. A heavy bearer of large, dark 
red, perfectly smooth fruit, sometimes described as be¬ 
ing as smooth as an apple. A good, reliable sort. Pkt. 
5c; oz. 20c: 1-4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.75. 
TURNIPS. 
PURPLE TOP STRAP LEAF.— This is white 
below and purple above ground. A good cropper and

grained and fine flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. lO.e; 1-4 lb. 15c; 
lb. 40c.

the best. Pkt. 5c ; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 15c; lb. 40c.
