SUPERB TOMATO. A Choice Novelty for 1930. It is indeed a superb new variety which is sure to please everyone with its high quality. It originated with one of our growers a few years ago and has been carefully selected to per- fect the type. It is a sport from the old puiple Mikado, retaining the ro- bust healthy growth and potato-shape leaf of that variety, but the fruit is bright crimson, same color as the Matchless. It matures at mid-season and is the most productive variety that we ever grew and will undoubt- edly be a very profitable sort for mar- ket gardeners. It is hardy and stands a frost which will kill other sorts, and it is also an excellent drouth resister. The fruits are smooth, of medium size, and superior quality. Last year most varieties of tomatoes were badly affected with blight, but we could not find any blight in this variety. In packets oniy of about 100 seeds 15c, 2 for 25c. MAMMOTH GROUND CHERRY. A Novelty of 1900. For several years past we have thought that the Yellow Ground Cherry was a fruit which could be im- proved, and by hyb idizing and select- ing we have finally secured a mam- moth size iruit fully Wi nches in diameter, which is of line flavor. We predict great popularity for it. Have but little seed this year and so can only offer it in packets of 40 .seeds. But we are sure thousands of our cus- tomers will want to try it. Price per pkt. 10c. DWARF GOLDEN CHAMPION TOMATO. For the market gardener this may be described as the best yellow varietvofall in dwarf, compact habit of growth and crumpled foli- age the plant is an exact counterpart of the favorite Dwarf Champion, but the large, handsome fruits are of a beautiful lemon-yellow co or. Never before have we had a yellow Tomato that was so large, solid, and tine flavored. Per pkt. 10c. IM
