HONOR BRIGHT TOMATO. This is a new tomato of a very dis- tinct nature. Its peculiar characteristic is that the fruit instead of turning from green to red, as other varieties do, first becomes white then yellow, and lastly turns to a very brilliant red when fully ripe. This peculiar change of color en- ables one to judge the proper time for picking for long distance shipping, for which purpose the Honor Bright is well adapted, being remarkably solid and keeps a long time after picking. It is enormously productive and of vigorous growth, with peculiar yellowish-green foliage. The quality of the fruit is very fine. It is a splendid main crop tomato, following after the earliest kinds and bearing fine fruit until frost. Seed of our own raising. % lb. $, oz. 30c., pkt. 10c. EARLY RUBY. The Earliest Smooth Tomato of Large Size. This is not only one of the earliest varieties, but our impi'oved strain produces tomatoes of large size and per- fectly smooth and regular. This cannot be said of any other extra early tomato, all of which are either irregular or small When this variety was first introduced it was not regular enough to suit us, but we have for a number of years been selecting the earliest and smoothest fruit for seed, and have now obtained a strain that is unsur- passed for earliness, smoothness and large size. The quality of the tomato is not quite as good as Dwarf Champion or Potomac, but the Early Ruby will ripen its whole crop very early, and on this account is valuable for market and for those who have difiiculty in getting tomatoes to ripen.
