Novelty in Tomatoes NEW CREATION 
This new Tomato was known as No. 9. and I paid $50.00 for 
above name. I am glad to offer my customers such a novelty and 
curiosity in the Hneof Tomatoes. It is not only valuable for many pur- 
posesbut very ornamental. The “Rural New Yorker ” of Feb. 18, shows 
an illustration from photograph and gives the following description : 
BOTH USEFUL AND ORNAMENTAL. 
The Tomato has a handsome vine. What sort of figure would the 
Tomato cut as an ornamental vine ? Thisquestion occurred to us more 
than 20 years ago. One each of a yellow aud red variety was planted 
in front of the barn. The plants were watered as often as needed and 
trained up the barn, cutting off all laterals that were not needed for 
fruit. These vines grew to the height of 13 feet bc/ore they were killed 
by frost in late October. They bore quantities of fruit from near the 
ground to the very tips—yellow, red and green. We do not know of any 
plants we have ever raided that attracted so much attention from our friends 
•who saw them. Mr. John Gill sent us a photograpnfrom which Fig. 37 was en¬ 
graved. (See illustration.) It shows a single plant trained up to stakes. It 
grew to a height of over 13 feet and its many branchesfrneasured 1,060 in length. 
It bore over 1,100 ripe Tomatoes of a bright yellow color and about as large as 
a medium size ilium. When frost nipped the viue, there were over 1,000 green 
Tomatoes that needed only a little more warm weather to bring them to per- 
fection. It would seem that ope such vine as this should supply a moderate-sized 
family with all the Tomatoes it needs during the season .—Rural New Yorker. 
From the above description everyone will see at once what a great 
curiosity it is. I bought entire control of the seed stock from Mr. Gill, 
the originator, and those who want pure stock should order from 
headquarters. It certainly would be very interesting to experiment 
with this novelty, and from what my customers say, who planted it 
last year, I believe it can be easily decided as to whether it is what I 
claim. By all means give it a trial. Pkt. Gc. ; 3 for 15c. ; 6 for 25c. 
Mills* Giant Prize Tomato. 
This is without question the largest Tomato ever introduced. I 
have grown it for many years and find that it always produces an 
abundance ofhandsome fmi t that will astonish everyone. The quality 
is excellent and. after you have once grown it, you will have no others. 
It is a handsome red color, very’- solid with only a few seeds and free 
from rot. Tf started early, the fruit will ripen from July until killed 
by frost. Order some seed and .see what can be done. You will be 
sure of a large crop of Tomatoes. Price of seed, per pkt. Sc. ; 3 pkts.
