F. E. MCALLISTER, 22 DEY ST., NEW YORK.—HIGH GRADE VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
25 
acutely or deeply lobed or seamed. The surface is 
slightly wavy and the undulations gradual or obscure. 
The flesh, too, is peculiarly arranged. Just under¬ 
neath the flesh of the skin are the pulp cells, in which 
all the seeds are imbedded. The central portion is 
solid flesh of a mealy, tender consistency and of mild 
flavor, peculiarly agreeable to those who prefer raw 
tomatoes. The vines are marvels of productiveness, 
bringing to bear early, and continuing to ripen an 
abundant crop of fruit until frost. Per pkt., 10c.; per 
oz., 60c.; per lb., $6.00. 
Thorburn Lemon Blush. This is the nearest approach 
to a perfect tomato that has been produced up to this 
time. The skin and flesh are a bright lemon-yellow, 
with a faint rose blush or light crimson tint diffused 
over part of the surface opposite the stem. Its average 
size is larger than the “Acme,” in shape somewhat 
broader than deep, and absolutely free of seams, lobes 
or irregularities. The seeds are notably small and 
few, the cell walls thick, tender, crystalline and melt¬ 
ing—the quality being less acid than that of the red 
varieties, yet without the insipidity which character¬ 
izes the yellow kinds in general. The plant is a vigor¬ 
ous grower, ripening its fruit abundantly in mid¬ 
season. Per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 60c.; per lb., $6.00.

for pickles. Per pkt., 5c.; oz., 25c.; ^ lb., 75c.; lb.,
