vigorous foliage. The fruits are similar to Mar- 
globe but flat at the stem end. Bright red,

452. BOUNTY or VICTOR. (65 days.) Many 
varieties of early determinate vine or self-topping tomatoes

popular as it is early, an exceptionally heavy yielder, and 
will produce the finest quality tomatoes on plants spaced 
as close as three feet apart. Fruit is good sized, uniformly 
globular and orange-scarlet in color, Will erack somewhat
