The best Early Tomato in existence. 
Early Freedom Tomato. 
Not only early, but a prodigious and continuous bearer until frost* 
Fruits of moderate size, as handsome and uniform as if moulded* 
Quality, solidity and flavor surpassingly fine* 
Early Freedom is unqualifiedly superior to any other early tomato grown. 
Its value lies not only in the actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that 
such enormous quantities of fruit can be gathered while all other so-called 
“Earlies” are ripening only a few. The fruits are of good size, brilliant 
scarlet in color, perfectly round, smooth and remarkably handsome. The 
flesh is solid, of perfect flavor and absolutely free from any acidity. The fruits 
are borne in large clusters, in phenomenal abundance and continuously, 
from the middle of July (in this latitude) until killed by frost. We con¬ 
sider Freedom the best variety for greenhouse cultivation. It sets its fruits 
very freely, and produces large clusters of most attractive fruit, medium in 
size, and is of far better quality than the seedy, pulpy varieties generally 
used for this purpose. It also has a very tough skin and flesh is very firm, 
making it the best shipper and keeper of the early varieties. {See cut.)

"I used your Freedom Tomato last season; 
it is the best tomato I ever grew, and is a heavy 
cropper.” „ 
G.W. SMITH, Ellenton, Fla. 
"The Freedom Tomato fruits are especially 
perfect. I do not think it can be surpassed as 
an all-around tomato.” 
M. E. POND, Conneaut, Ohio. 
“/ had ripe fr\ „ 
Freedom, the 16th of July, which is early for 
this cliynate. The same vines are still bearing 
(Sept. 8th) and will do so until frost, new fruits 
coming on all the time.” 
Mrs. M. A . SMITH, White House, N. J. 
“7 want to thank you for the satisfaction that 
I have experienced in growing your superb 
Freedom Tomato. They are superior in every 
respect to any other kind that I have ever tried. 
We had ripe tomatoes from the Freedom on 
June 15th, weighing from IV 2 pounds and over. 
The Freedom was ripe when those of other 
varieties were hardly in bloom. They are : the 
finest tomatoes in this part of the country.” 
Mr8. S. C. RIIEBERG, Covington, Ga. 
“7 consider Freedom the best and earliest 
tomato I have ever (frown.”

NEW TOMATO. 
Sparks’ Earliana is without a 
doubt the earliest good tomato 
grown. It was raised and developed 
in a section of South Jersey, from 
which probably more early tomatoes 
are shipped than any place in the 
United States. Earliana is not only 
extremely early but of particularly 
fine quality, which is very rare in an 
early tomato. The flesh is remark¬ 
ably solid, and it has few seeds. It 
has the habit peculiar to many 
sorts of setting the bulk of its fruits 
close to the center of the plant, so 
that they are exposed to the sun and 
thus ripen early. These qualities 
make it particularly useful for a first 
crop variety, and where more than 
one sort is grown, Earliana should 
head the list. The fruits which de¬ 
velop later are not equal in quality 
to those of the later and larger sorts.
