SeVei^Top T^r^iP- A rare variety grown only for its leaves to use for "; Turnip greens are very popular in the South and are truly delicious; and this variety will prove a favorite sort for the purpose. Per pkt. 5c. STATION TREE TOMATO. Envelope T011^*0' This is not a true Tomato but a species of Physalis, and is variously known as Husk To- mato, Ground Chcrri/, Winter Cherry, etc. Fruit like a yellow plum, enclosed in a husk in which it will keep nearly all winter if stored in a cool place. Easier to grow than a Tomato, enormously productive and of luscious flavor. They make fine sauce and pies, and when dried in sugar are said to be much better than raisins for cakes and puddings, while preserved they are simply delicious. A few plants will produce a bushel of the fruit, and some should be grown in every garden. The improved sort we offer should not be confounded with the old wild Ground Cherry, as it is much larger and better in every way. Per pkt. 5c.
