889 VALIANT. Very Early, Large Solid Fruit. 
70 days. This is the most popular of the early tomatoes—it has the 
large size, solid fruit and superior quality of ‘the later kinds and yet 
it ripens almost with the very earliest. 
These tomatoes grow large, round and smooth and they color well 
up to the stem. The flesh is firm and thick-meated and the flavor and 
sweetness are remarkable. The large, vigorous vines have an open, 
spreading habit and do best on heavier soils of high fertility.

produce fine tomatoes all through the season. We highly recommend it.

858 EARLY HYBRID. (Earliana x Valiant.) First to Ripen. 
65 days. Big crops are ready to pick before any other good tomato with 
this extra early hybrid, and it continues to bear heavily throughout 
the season. The fruit are of attractive round or oval shape, small to 
medium in size, smooth and well colored. The quality is good—mildly 
acid and of sweet flavor. 
On soils of high fertility with plenty of moisture, it produces aston- 
ishing crops of tomatoes that grow in large clusters on the vigorous 
vines. It is a true F, hybrid, and every seed must be pollinated by 
hand. This makes it expensive to produce but is essential to get the 
maximum earliness, size and yield. Hot Water Treated Seed.

and good flavor. N. Y. Certified Seed—Hot Water Treated.
