I mproved TROPHY 
This is one of the handsomest tomatoes grown, and all 
r Til I III I If III who have tried itsin variably round, smooth, nandsome,

The Trophy was the first of the 
modern improved sorts, and it had 
qualities or color, size and solidity 
which entitled it to hold a place 
against the much lauded new 
kinds; though all admitted it 
lacked in smoothness and regular¬ 
ity. By most careful breeding 
and selection, there has been de¬ 
veloped a strain in which all the 
original good qualities are retained 
and even intensified, and which 
compares favorably with any in 
smoothness, regularity and sym¬ 
metry of the fruit. We offer our 
Improved Trophy as a soi*t whose 
large, strong growing, vigorous 
and productive vine, very large, 
very solid, smooth, fine flavored, 
and beautiful, deep, rich red fruit 
will satisfy the most exacting.

Improved Trophy Tomato. 
We have given a good deal of attention to the improvement of this variety, and think 
we have succeeded in making it one of the smoothest and most uniform in size, and 
earliest of the purple fruited sorts. Vine large, hardy and productive, ripening its 
first fruit almost as early as any, and continuing to bear abundantly until cut off by 
frost. Fruit in clusters of four or five, invariably round, smooth and of good size, free from cracks and stands shipment 
remarkably well; flesh solid and of excellent flavor. For market gardeners w ho want an early, purple fruited tomato, 
either for home market, or to ship, for private gardens, or for canners, it stands without a peer among its class. Ibis 
variety is used for planting under glass. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 36c; H Lb. 60c; Lb. $*-.00

Dwarf Champion 
This is a purple fruited variety, which forms very stout, strong 
plants aljout two feet high. The branches are short, making a 
bushy plant that stands quite erect without stakes. This sort is 
often sold as Tree Tomato. Fruit smooth, medium sized, color 
purplish-pink, fairly solid, but has no hard core, and is of good fla¬ 
vor. About as early as any purple fruited tomato, and is quite pop¬ 
ular in some localities, both for market and home use. 
The dwarf habit of the vines makes it very desirable for forc¬ 
ing, as it can be planted closer to the glass, and more closely on 
the bench than the tall growing kinds. 
Our stock is a very superior strain with larger, smoother fruit 
than the original. Pkt. 5c; 0z« 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; hi Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.25

PP ATH This is a distinct and very attractive appearing tomato, highly desirable for preserving, eating from the hand 
I or table decoration. Fruit resembles a peach in shape, size and color, and is covered with a delicate down, 
which makes the deception quite complete; flesh tender and of good flavor. Should find a place in every garden. Pkt. 5c;

The superior flavor of the yellow varieties is bringing them 
into favor as table fruit, and those who think of a yellow 
tomato as the rough fruit of the old yellow sorts will be sur¬ 
prised at this smooth, beautiful fruit, it being as smooth as the best of the red varieties, and of a fine and distinct flavor.

This old sort is oft<*n presented as a novelty under a new name. 
While no one should plant largely of it for market or home use, it 
is a good variety for eating from the band. The fruit is about one 
and one-half inches in diameter, round, perfectly smooth and of a yellow ish-white color. Flesh very mild flavored and deli¬ 
cate, and is valued by some for making preserves. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; h Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.25
