TOMATO 
Marshall’s Prolific 
For forcing we can strongly recommend it 
as' being the best variety, as it sets very freely 
and is an exceptionally heavy cropper. 
For outside planting it is the earliest variet}^ 
grown, and when the size is considered it will 
produce more uniform fruit than the larger 
varieties with no waste when sliced. 
It is an enormous cropper, of medium size, 
producing as many as thirty Tomatoes on a 
truss. The fruit is a bright scarlet color, per¬ 
fectly smooth, flesh solid, and contains very 
few seeds. Pkt. 25c. 
TOMATO 
New Coreless 
This variety is almost round with little de- 
pression at the stem end. It is most productive, 
clusters of six or more fruits being produced at 
close intervals all along the stems. Color a rich 
red, and in size it averages large, weighing 
twelve ounces or more. Pkt. 10c.
