Pride of Every Garden. 
Enormous Size. Delightful 
Flavor. Among large fruit- 
ed tomatoes this variety is 
unique. In form it is dis- 
tinet, since it is almost ex- 
actly the shape of a heart 
as the name implies, and 
single fruits sometimes 
weigh more than two 
pounds. When sliced, it 
does not show the large 
seed compartments of 
other tomatoes, but looks 
more like tender steak. 
This firm red flesh is non- 
acid, but instead of being 
flat-tasting it has a pleas- 
ing flavor. Matures in 87 
days. Pkt., 25 cts.; 44 0z.,
