Earliana Tomato TOMATO^^LL 
This is still the best extra early Tomato for the family garden 
as it bears a very heavy crop quite early in the season. It has 
excellent flavor and is remarkably solid for an early sort. The 
very early sorts are not, as a rule, continuous bearing, so 
that a later variety should also be planted to insure a 
season's supply. ( See engraving.) Price, 10 c. pkt., 50c. 
oz., Si.60 ii lb., $6.00 lb.

Table Turnips 
Turnips are easy to grow, but rarely do well in summer. 
The spring crop must be sown in this section before April 
loth, so that it will mature before June 10th. Early turnips 
should be used when quite young in order to be tender. If 
they remain in the ground too long, they are liable to be both 
woody and strong flavored. Turnips grow best in the fall from 
seed sown from July 15 th to July 2 5th. The varieties grown at 
this season remain in good condition all winter. 
EARLY RED TOP 
Strap Leaved Turnip 
This is perhaps the most popular of all the quick-growing sorts, 
and may be used to good advantage for the early spring crop. It 
grows very rapidly under proper conditions, and in eight weeks from sow- 
mg will produce a good crop of tender roots of mild and pleasing flavor. 
Ihe leaves are short, the roots quite flat, the upper half reddish purple, the 
lower half white. The flesh is pure white, crisp and fine grained. Price 5 c. 
pkt., 15c. oz., 45c. H lb., $1.50 lb.

Henderson’s Tenderloin Tomato 
This variety is greatly esteemed by our customers on account of its remarkable 
Solidity of flesh, its delicious flavor, and phenomenal cropping ability. _ 
The vine is very robust, and of strong branching character, enabling it to produce 
and sustain a prodigious quantity of fruit, which is borne in clusters all over the vine. 
The individual fruits are quite large, almost round, very smooth and even in shape, 
and without any depression at the stem end, a common fault with many large-fruited 
sorts. The outer color is brilliant purplish-red, which extends clear to the stem. It 
is more solid, and heavier than any sort of equal size. No variety excels it in color of 
flesh; its rich blood-crimson permeates the heart of every fruit. (See engraving.)

“7n the writer's experience of ten years, xvhich covers every Tomato listed by every seedsman of 
any prominence, I find that Henderson's Tenderloin Toronto is for slicing and home use the best 
of all. There is nothing that compares with it in my opinion. If I had to choose but one Tomato 
ylant it would be the Tenderloin."P. M. BUCKINGHAM, Barnwell, S. C
