ATLEE BURPEE & CO., THE TURNER HYBRID TOMATO. THE TURNER HYBRID TOMATO. This distinct new variety, named and first introduced by us, has created quite a sensation. In 188S our prize was won by Mr. F. L. Rav, East Clarion, Ohio, who expressed us six splendid toniatoes weighing eight pounds thirteen ounces,of which the largest specimen weighed twenty- eight ounces, or one and three-fourths pounds. In 1889 our prize of $ was won by Mr. Chas. A Gould, Kokomo, Ind., with six Turner"Hybrids weigh- ing fully nine pounds. The foliage of the Turner Hybrid differs from that of nearly all other Tomatoes, the large leaves being entire and not cut. It is a rank, strong grower, with thick stalks, and is enormously productive. It grows quickly and is ready to market very early for so large a tomato. The fruit is extra large in size and remarkably solid. The average weight of the tomatoes is from twelve to eighteen ounces, but many specimens reach twenty to twenty-four ounces in weight. They ripen up evenly and are entirely free from core. They make the handsomest sliced tomatoes we have ever seen, and have been pronounced by all who have tried them un- equaled in fine flavor and table qualities. The form of the fruit is round and thick through, smooth in speci- mens of medium to large size, and, while the extra large fruits are not so regular in shape, they are equal in quality, firm and solid ; the color is a very brilliant red.
