TOMATO, BEATUY 
Magnus. This new variety is of the same color as Acme, but the fruit is thicker, 
heavier, and more solid. It is medium early, of perfect form, large and attractive' 
ripens evenly, does not crack about the stem, flavor most desirable. The plant 
is a robust grower, short-jointed, setting its clusters of fruit closer than most 
sorts ; a heavy cropper. An excellent variety to follow Earliana. 
Improved Acme. A fine solid, smooth, early variety, medium size, red, with 
a purplish tinge. It has become quite popular for private gardens and with 
canners. 
Dwarf* Champion. Dwarf and compact in habit, the plant 
growing stiff and upright, with very thick and short-jointed stems, requiring no 
stakes. Often sold as Tree Tomato. Can be planted as close as three feet. As 
a cropper it is unsurpassed. Color same as Acme. Perfectly round and smooth. 
Dwarf Aristocrat, j 'his new variety resembles “ Dwarf Cham¬ 
pion,” and might be taken for that popular variety if it were not for the color of 
its rich, glossy red fruit, so much preferred in many localities to the purple or 
rose-colored varieties. The size, solidity, productiveness, smoothness, flavor of 
its fruit, etc., are up to the present day standard of excellence. Packet, io cents; 
oz., 35 cents; y lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
Beauty, a decided favorite for either home market or shipping purposes. 
Hardy, productive, large size, always smooth, glossy crimson with a slight tinge 
of purple. A great favorite with Florida and long distance shippers. 
Royal Red. Bright scarlet and the reddest throughout of any grown. In size, 
smoothness, productiveness, solidity, and general appearance, it will please the 
most fastidious.
