Dreer's quarterly wholesale price list Dreer's quarterly wholesale price list of seeds, plants &c. : spring edition April 1896 June . dreersquarterlyw1896henr_0 Year: 1896 New Tomatoes of i8g6. Tomato, Thorburn New York. A new and entirely distinct variety, discovered 4 years ago in a field of the Acme Tomato. After 3 years of careful culture, it has retained uniformly its distinctive features, and there is every reason to consider the type per- fectly fixed. In color it is deep red, with a purplish tinge, and altogether it is as handsome as it is unique. In size it averages a little larger than the Acme; the flesh is very solid and of mild, agreeable flavor. It is extra early in ripening, a very vigorous grower and a great yielder. It is excellently adapted for canning purposes, and its extremely long-keeping qualities and thick, smooth skin make it a most valuable shipping variety.

So marked is this characteristic that one might easily tell a plant of 'Day- break '' among a thousand of any other sort. Per pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts. New Imperial Tomato. This fine Tomato excels in earliness, size, perfect sym- metry, and about every trait that goes to make up a first- class tomato ; it ripens well up to the stem and is very thick-meated, and is claimed to be earlier than any other variety. It is at all events well worthy of a trial. Per pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., | lb. $ Eastman's Bright and Early. The originator of this new variety writes:—'In the Bright and Early Tomato, now first offered, I believe we hav
