It has a rich purple-red color, very attractive. Early, but not on our grounds equal in this re- spect to Earliest of All and some other varieties. On the whole, an excellent all-round tomato for either family use or the market. Price, per ounce, 20 cents; per package, 5 cents. "HONOR BRIGHT" TOMATO. One of its most striking charac- teristics of this new tomato is the singular change of color the fruit undergoes during its development. It is first of alight green color, then turns to a strik- ing waxy white, next lemon, and finally to a rich, bright red! An- other characteris- tic is its long keeping quality, which makes it especially valu- able for shipping long distances.
