RATEKIN & SON'S ANNUAL SEED This sort is often sold as Tree Tomato. Fruit smooth, medium sized, col- or purplish pink, fairly solid, but has no hard core, and is of good flavor. About as early as any purple fruited tomato, and is quite popular in some localities, both for market and home use. The dwarf habit of the vines makes it very desir- able for forcing, as it can be planted closer to the glass, and more closely on the bench than the tall growing kinds. Our stock is a very supe- rior strain with larger, smoother fruit than the eriatinal. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; ilb. 75c. DWAKF CHAMPION TOMATO 5^01^0 This is the heav- iest and most solid fruited of the large tomatoes of good quality. Our stock is distinctly su- perior to most of that of- fered under this name, be- ing more uniform, better colored and larger. Yines vigorous and productive. Fruit round apple-shaped, very large, very deep red in color and astonishingly heavy. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 2 oz. 40c; i lb.
