HARRIS’ EARLY STONE, * Tomato of 
-—— Superior Quality. 
Although some of our newer kinds are usually more uniform 
in shape, none can surpass Stone for fine quality. It has 
long been considered one of the very best tomatoes on ac¬ 
count of its firm flesh and lack of acidity. For canning it is 
important to geta variety that is notacidand for this reason 
the Stone is especially valuable for this purpose. The fruit 
is smooth, deep red throughout, very firm and sweet. 
We have raised this seed for years in this northern lati¬ 
tude and have made selections with special reference to 
earliness so that our strain of Stone not only has retained 
the fine qualities of flavor and color of the old Stone but is 
almost as early as John Baer.

HARRIS SUCCESS. We no longer grow this old variety. 
Harris’ Early Stone, (described above) which we also grow 
is similar in type, has equally fine quality and much better 
color. 
Comet 
Note the heavy yield of fine fruit. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. The fruit is large and smooth. It is very attractive 
when combined with red tomatoes or peppers in salad. It ripens early 
and the vines are strong and prolific.

DWARF STONE—Fine for Home Gardens. The plants grow dwarf 
and stocky, like those of Dwarf Champion, and can be set out close 
together. The fruit is like Stone, medium size, solid and deep red, and 
of fine quality. Kipens a little later than Early Stone, but produces fine 
solid fruit late in the season when most tomatoes are not so solid and 
firm. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; X Lb. $1.45; Lb. $4.75. 
ITALIAN RED PEAR (Porno d’oro a Pero). This tomato is most 
prized by the Italian people for making their famous “tomato paste.” 
It is also used extensively for canning. These tomatoes canned whole 
with a few leaves of basil make a delightful change from ordinary 
canned tomatoes. 
The fruit is very solid with thick walls, and deep red in color through¬ 
out. It is true pear shape but three or four times as large as the ordinary 
red pear tomatoes. Borne in clusters of 4 to 7 fruits on strong vines. 
N. Y. State Certified Seed. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; X Lb. $1.55; Lb. $5.25. 
COMET. For Greenhouse and 
-1 Trellis Growing. Our 
strain is a great favorite around 
Boston and other sections where 
trellis tomatoes are grown. The 
fruit is smooth, bright red and just 
the ideal size for individual salads. 
This stock has been found without 
superior for both greenhouse and 
growing outside on trellises or 
stakes. The seed was saved from 
carefully selected plants.

PONDEROSA. Very Large. A late variety but with fruit that is more 
solid and “meaty” than any other kind. The tomatoes are very large 
but not as even as most other kinds. The color is a deep pink and the 
quality very mild and fine. This is a late tomato but in normal seasons 
will ripen a good lot of fruit even in our Northern climate.

Yellow Plum Red Pear Red Cherry 
“7 never had much success with tomatoes before and the Yellow Plum and 
Red Cherry, brought me a lot of compliments from everyone who saw them, 
and in our opinion no other tomato can match them for making preserves. 
They bore until frost killed them and we must have had a bushel from each 
kind with only a dozen plants.
