Mneer’s Nei» 
Oxheaft truly the giant of all tomatoes. It is smooth, thick, 
tender and almost seedless; frequently showing 2 inches 
thick without a seed cavity. Three pound specimens are quite com¬ 
mon. A pink tomato with that delicious mild flavor that every lover 
of this fruit likes. Pkt. 10c, V 2 oz. 25c, oz. 40c, Vi lb. $1.45, 1/2 lb- 
$2.70, lb. $4.90. 
Livingston’s Globe 
A new variety of exceptional merit. It 
is of beautiful globe shape, which permits 
of a greater number of slices being taken than from flat-fruited sorts. 
Among the first to ripen, although of large size, very smooth, firm 
fleshed, few seeds, ripens evenly; color a beautiful glossy rose, tinged 
purple. Pkt. 7c, oz. 25c, Vi lb. 80c, 1/2 lb. $1.50, lb. $2.90. 
Alneer’s New Giant Cardinal 
This tomato is well 
named. The color is a 
rich cardinal red. The skin is so tough that it is a splendid keeper 
and shipper, and is less liable to crack in wet weather than any other 
large tomato. Unsurpassed for market or table. The plant is a 
strong grower, and is very productive. The fruit is free from core, 
and the seed spaces are small. The leaves are a rich, dark green color, 
and very luxuriant. Pkt. 7c, oz. 25c, Vi lb. 85c, V2 lb. $1.60, lb. $3.00. 
Crimson King 
Is more symmetrical in shape than the Pon- 
derosa and is much thicker through from stem 
to blossom-end; in fact, so marked is this characteristic that it is fre¬ 
quently almost round. The color is brilliant scarlet-crimson, untinged 
with purple, and ripens up almost completely to the stem. The Crimson 
King, like the Ponderosa, is almost seedless. The flesh is firm and 
meaty, solid as beefsteak, and of superb quality. It is enormously 
prolific and early for so large a tomato. Pkt. 10 c, oz. 30c, 1/4 lb. $1.10, 
1/2 lb. $2.10, lb. $4.00. 
Alneer’s Great Giant Tree Tomato 
A new tomato of great merit. Will climb from 8 to 15 
feet high, trained on trellis. Fruit is medium to large 
size, of meaty and luscious flavor. Immense bearers, from 
50 to 100 pounds on vine. Pkt. 10c, oz. 40c, Vi lb. $1.45.
