GERMAIN’S TOMATOES 
SOMETHING NEW 
IN TOMATOES 
PEPPINESE. 
length of about 2 to 2% 
inches, elongated, and resembles a pep¬ 
per. Color is a bright crimson. This is 
a novelty that we feel will find a definite 
place not only as a home garden tomato 
but as a commercial item. It is a won¬ 
derful keeper and has a most attractive 
appearance. The flesh is so firm that 
one feels that it has some pepper blood 
in the plant. When cooked it makes a 
marvelous stew and for salads it is un¬ 
surpassed. To market gardeners we ad¬ 
vise trying this out this year; to home 
growers, plant it by all means. Per 
packet 15c; oz. $1.20; Vi lb. $4.00; 1 lb. 
$ 12 . 00 . ‘
