Keyes’ Early Prolific Tomato. 
HOYEY Sc CO., 
Again offer genuine seeds raised by them, of this most val¬ 
uable Tomato, which has proved from 15 to 30 days earlier 
than any other kind. 
J. S. Sewall, St. Paul, Minn., says: “ It is one month ear¬ 
lier than the Tilden.” P. Henderson, New York, says “it 
ripens its general crop about 15 days earlier than any other 
variety.” "D. Landreth & Son, Philadelphia, say that “it 
is a week earlier, and that is enough to make it valuable.’ 
A writer in the Am. Agriculturist, from Pa., says each 
vine produces “ 10 lbs. per plant , and the Tilden only 2% lbs., 
that it ripens up its crop in 4 weeks , and is a valuable variety 
for cold seasons." Ciias. Downing, Newburgh. N.Y.. s ays 
“it is at least 10 da?js earlier than any other variety.’ E. W. 
Sylvester, Lvons, N. Y., says “it is 10 to 15 days ahead of 
all others.” Wm, IIeihl, Alton, Ill., “finds-it earlier than 
the Tilden or Brill’s, and much more productive." Judge 
J. King, Dubuque, Iowa, says: “It is decidedly the finest 
fruit of the kind he has yet raised. It is not only 15 to 20 days 
earlier , but better flavored, au acquisition beyond dispute.” 
The Gardeners’ Chronicle says it is “altogether a first- 
class variety.” 
Hundreds of similar testimonials might be added from all 
parts of the United States.
