Nothing ever introduced has excited so much comment in so short a time as this magnificent tomato. 
Although sent out in small packets only, it has brought in hundreds of unsolicited testimonials from cus¬ 
tomers who tried it, all of whom agree in pronouncing it the largest, heaviest, and most productive of all late 
tomatoes, as well as the most attractive in form and bright red color. It has been grown to weigh 3% pounds, 
and it is nothing unusual to have specimens when ripe weigh one to three pounds each , as smooth as an apple 
and remarkably solid. The name given it was suggested by Thomas H. Brinton, the tomato specialist, of 
Chadd’s Ford, Pa., who has probably grown and tested more varieties of tomatoes than any other person in the 
United States, who wrote: “The more I see of the Brandy wine the more I am pleased with it. It is certainly 
a magnificent, new, most distinct variety.” Price, per packet, 10 cents; three packets for 25 cents. 
Spanish King 
Onion. 
Every person who visits our large cities has 
doubtless noticed the large, beautiful Onions 
offered for sale on the fruit stands every fall. 
These onions were originally imported, but 
since the introduction of this famous variety 
there is getting to be less need of the imported 
stock and the demand is being filled by Amer¬ 
ican grown Spanish Kings. 
They are of a beautiful rich straw color, and 
grow to enormous size, averaging 10 to 14 
inches in circumference, and under favorable 
conditions attain a weight of from 3 to4 pounds 
the first year from the seed ; although of such 
great size, they are very firm. Of the mildest 
flavor, they are oftentimes eaten as an apple. 
They have a very small neck, perfectly globe- 
shaped. When placed on the market they al¬ 
ways attract attention and bring two or three 
times the price of ordinary onions of any other 
color. They are wonderfully productive 
and can be grown by any person in any suitable 
soil. Price per packet, 10 cents; three packets 
for 25 cents.
