The plants are covered with clusters of fruit, averaging from 5 to 9 Tomatoes in each cluster bearing right down to the bottom of the stem. The fruit is of medium size, somewhat larger than the " Stir­ ling Castle" and is a much heavier cropper than that favorite variety. Color dark scarlet, very smooth, solid and almost globe shaped. For flavor and quality it is unequaled. We consider this Tomato the finest forcer yet introduced. It is also very valuable for first crop outside planting. In our trials last season it was two weeks ahead of all the others. Pkt. 25c. NEW EARLY TURNIP W. & D.'s White Model We consider this to be the earliest Turnip in cultivation, and feel sure that it will become a general favorite.
