Best Tomatoes We make a specialty of fine new Tomatoes, and these here offered may bul depended upon to give the greatest possible satisfaction. All the Tomato Seed we offer is grown by ourselves, saved only from selected fruits, hand picked and hand cleaned. TOP NOTCH The Earliest—The Best Medium Size—The Most Perfect in Shape and Color—The Least Vine—The Most Fruit—The Longest in Bearing and Keeping— The Least Acid—The Sweetest Tomato, And in Every Respect the Best for Home or Market 8S7 With qualities as brilliant as a comet. Top Notch has, as it were, dropped rrom the sky a perfect Tomato. In every quality that can be named it is su- perior to any other; earliest, large, round and smooth, uniform in size and shape, and rich, ruby color. It makes very little vine, but bears enormous quantities of fruit, nrty to seventy large, perfect Tomatoes to a plant which covers very little area. In quality it Tar outranks any other variety, for it lacks the objectionable acid or other sorts. People who suffer had efferts rrom the acid or Tomatoes will enjoy Top Notch. Begins ripening very earlv and continues all the season. It is most de- cidedly the finest Tomato Tor market and the best ror the home garden. Per pkt., 15c; 1 oz., 80c; lb., 8S.00. CHILDS' EARLY BASEBALL TOMATO S8S In many ways this is about as fine a vegetable novelty as we ever introduced, not excepting the Ever- lasting Cucumber, Hair-Century Crisphead and Match- less Lettuce. We will not say it is the earliest or all Tomatoes, but it i< as early any and very mucH earlier than anv other large first-class sort. Unlike other earlv Tomatoes, Baseball is not small, but extra large- one or the verv largest, and by all odds the smoothest, heaviest and most solid variety in cultiva- tion It ha« verv little seed cavity, but has solid flesh pulp, tender and free rrom all trace or coarseness or green core It is a rich crimson color throughout and or unsurpassed quality. By all odds the Tomato tor both the home garden and the market gardener. 10c per pkt.; oz., 40c; lb., $1.00. SCARLET PLUM, A Grand Tomato 899 We find this to be a most proline and satisfac- tory Tomato. Beautirul scarlet color, plum shape, and borne in clusters or Tour to six. More prolific than any other kind and of very Ilnest quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c
