World’s Gigantic Tomato==Greatest on Earth 
We believe this the most wonderful Tomato ever introduced. It possesses every good quality to be found in a tomato. Our customers are having mar¬ 
velous results everywhere. Some of them report vines attaining a height of 20 feet, and 5 vines producing 1035 pounds of fruit. The vines grow strong and 
vigorous and when properly trained will carry an enormous weight of fruit. The immense fruits are always perfect in form, very heavy and solid all through, 
containing but few seeds, while the skin is exceedingly firm. Considering all points we think this is the King of all Tomatoes. A trial will convince you. 
Order your seed seed direct from us. We are the introducers. Pk’t. 5c., 3 pkts. 12c. SEE FRONT COVER
