Early Conqueror
The product of one acre of this variety, four years ago, was over one thousand bushels of tomatoes, all put into market before most other sorts had begun to ripe. After fully testing its good qualities, we unhesitatingly place it in the front rank of all the early varieties, and we do not think it has been surpassed, if indeed equaled, for a large-producing, well-formed, smooth, handsome, early tomato for market or family use.
