W. F. Allen’s Plant and Seed Catalogue, Salisbury, Md. 
STONE. — This has come to be recognized as the 
best of all the standard varieties. The color is a de¬ 
sirable bright red; fruit is of large size, perfectly 
smooth and of best quality. It is a famous tomato in 
all tomato sections and the favorite for canning every¬ 
where. The plants are productive and fruit bears ship¬ 
ment well. I have a large stock of seed and will be 
pleased to correspond with any canners who want large 
quantities of seed for their growers. My stock is 
strictly pure and of the very finest. Special prices on 
large lots. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; quarter lb., 40c.; lb., 
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 
fully as early and possesses greater sweetness and free- 
d °m from acidity. It originated as a chance sport In 
a field of Earliana. The plants axe quite hardy and 
adapted to the practice of most gardeners who start 
their plants very early and have large plants well har¬ 
dened early in the Spring. Both skin and flesh are of 
a deep pink or purplish tint; of sweet, mild flavor 
Very popular for an early market variety. Pkt.. 10c •

WHITE POTATOES. 
I do not handle white potatoes in less than barrel 
lots, and I can usually supply the very best Northern- 
grown seed. I do not have many varieties, hut some 
extra good stock of the best kinds. I quote Irish Cob¬ 
bler and Early Rose. Arlstook county, Maine, grown at 
$3.50 per one-barrel sack (165 Iba.). I have a few 
extra fine Maryland-grown Green Mountain which I 
can furnish at same price. Parties wanting 10 barrels 
or more will please write for special rates.
