Atlantic Prize 
Atlantic Prize a variety bearing fruit which in size, shape, color, solidity and quality, will compare favor, 
kinds, and by repeated trials we have demonstrated that it ripens up a large proportion of its crop the earliest of any variety. 
We do not hesitate to pronounce it the largest, smoothest, best flavored and brigntest colored red, extra early tomato. Vine 
small, with few leaves, very hardy, bearing the fruit low down on the stem and in enormous clusters, which ripen all 
together. Where earliness is the chief consideration this is the best variety. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; % Lb. 75c; Lb.

D. M. FERRY & CO’S OPIIMLS 
A variety introduced by us, and we believe the best table tomato, 
at least as far as quality is concerned. Vine medium sized, but 
vigorous, healthy, and productive. Although not represented as 
a first early sort, many of our customers report that they have obtained ripe fruit from this as early as from any sort, and it 
proves to be one of the best varieties known for forcing. Fruit medium sized, oval, very smooth, and of exceedingly bright, 
crimson-scarlet color; very free from cracks, and rotting but little. The flesh is of a crimson-scarlet color, quite distinct. It is 
also one of the best in flavor, and entirely free from the hard spots found in so many others. The Optimus is not only one of 
the best for home use and for market, but one of the best canning tomatoes. Pkt. 5c; 
Oz. 20c; 
FrlvnPlt Vine medium sized, with large, dark green leaves, having 
■ numerous clusters of three to seven large tomatoes, which 
are a rich, dark red color, of oval outline, exceedingly smooth; flesh very firm, but 
without green spots. This is a favorite variety on account of its smooth, handsome 
fruit. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; h Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00

Beauty Tomato. 
Vines large, vigorous and heavy bearers; fruit large, uniform in 
size, very smooth, color of skin purplish-pink; flesh light pink
