and pleasing foliage. We like it very much."—Mr. J. Rust, 
Head Gardener to The Most Noble The Marquis of Abergavenny.

appearance, habit, and constitution I have up to the present seen 
nothing to approach it. I grow no other variety next season."— 
Mr. W. Fyfe, Head Gardener to The Right Hon. Lord Wantage. 
“ The Tomato is well named—it is all a Champion. The 
fruit is of a beautiful colour, with fine flesh, and it is the greatest 
bearer I have ever seen. It must become a great favourite.”— 
Mr. J. Burgess, Head Gardener to The Right Hon. Lord 
Ellesmere, Stctchworth Park, Newmarket. 
“ Dwarf Champion Tomato is of a good dwarf habit, prolific 
bearer, fruit large, in shape all that can be desired, and I have 
no hesitation in saying it is the_best Tomato I have ever tasted. 
Shall grow it extensively next year.”— Mr. E. Cole, Head Gar¬ 
dener to The Right Hon. Earl -Spencer, Althorp. 
“Tomato, Dwarf Champion.—This I think highly of; of 
very dwarf stout habit; the fruit is of a deep red colour, very 
firm, and of most excellent flavour.” —Mr. Walter Child, Head 
Gardener to The Right Hon. The Earl of Coventry. 
“Dwarf Champion Tomato is quite distinct in foliage; 
dwarf grower and an abundant bearer, of a useful size and good 
flavour. As an outdoor variety it should hold a good place.”—
