King of ,the Earlies. This v iriety was introduced here by the late Richard Frotscher a few years *go. It is very early and productive; color bright red, of good size and quiie solid. The vine is medium, stout and branch- ing. The buds appear soon, blos- soms as a rule adhere and pro- duce fruit. It is so much earlier than the Livingston varieties, that it should be planted for the first. The latter kind are so handsome in shape that they will sell better than any other, when the market is once well supplied. Extra Early Dwarf. This is the earliest, in cultivation. It is dwarfish in habit, fruit larger than the following kind, and more flat; bright scarlet in color and very productive. For an early market variety it cannot be surpassed. Dwarf Champion. This is a distinct kind. The plants grow stiff" and upright, and need no support as other kinds. Can be planted closely together, three feet apart. It is early and productive; the fruit resembles the Acme, but is of lighter color, ripens up even and does not crack. Early Large Smooth Red. An early kind of medium size; smooth and productive. Selected Trophy. A very large, smooth Tomato, more solid and heavier than any other kind. Has become a favorite variety. Large Yellow. This is simi- lar in shape to the Large Red. but more solid. Not very popular. Acme. This is one of the pret- tiest and most solid Tomatoes ever introduced. It is of medium size, round and very smooth, a strong grower, and a good and long bearer.

Of all the varie- ties introduced none has surpass- ed this kind when all qualities are brought into cons
