Burbank Preserving
The plants are of dwarf, stocky growth, with dark-green potato-leaf foliage. The small, round, scarlet tomatoes, borne in clusters, measure only three-quarters of an inch in diameter; of unusually rich, sweet flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; ¼ lb., 85c; lb., $3.00; postpaid.

Burpee's Dwarf-Giant
It is much the largest fruited of all dwarf tomatoes! The tomatoes are truly gigantic in size, and continue to be uniformly large throughout the season. They are produced in clusters of four to six and weight from ten to twenty ounces each. The color is a rich purple-crimson, and the depth of color is maintained throughout the entire fruit. Dwarf-Giant is the most meaty of all tomatoes! The flesh is so firm and the tomatoes so heavy that they might be described almost “solid as a rock!” Burpee's Dwarf-Giant is the most nearly seedless of all tomatoes. The firm fine-grained flesh extends to the very center, with no trace whatever of a core. It's unequaled in delicious flavor! This is saying a great deal, but it is true. In rich, sweet flavor it surpasses even our famous Matchless and Trucker's Favorite, as well as its parent, Ponderosa. Fruits eaten raw, as an apple, gathered direct from the plants, show the freedom from acidity while the luscious quality is most noticeable. Uniformly of compact bush-like growth. While of the true dwarf type, the plants are very strong and vigorous. The cut-leaf foliage is dark green and heavy, almost like leather in texture. The new “Dwarf Giant” is most productive and has only one fault. Originated from a cross between Dwarf Champion and Ponderosa, it naturally inherits the character of the latter parent to bear “ribbed” fruits. The tomatoes are so solid, meaty, and of such delicious flavor, however, that for family gardens this can hardly be counted a serious fault. Dwarf-Giant is a mid-season or main-crop tomato. It ripens a week to ten days earlier than Ponderosa and the plants continue to mature the superb “giant-solid” tomatoes, in abundance, until killed by frost. The fruits are so nearly “seedless” that seed of a selected strain will always be costly. All our seed has been produced upon our own farms in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Pkt., 10c; ¼ oz., (about 2700 seeds) 20c; ½ oz., 35c; oz., 65c; 2 ozs., $1.10; ¼ lb., $2.00; ½ lb., $3.75; lb., $7.50, postpaid.

Burpee's Matchless
Best large-fruited smooth main-crop tomato for twenty-seven years. This one is a strong, vigorous grower, with thrifty vines which produce large handsome tomatoes most abundantly throughout the season. The fruits, of a rich cardinal-red, are remarkably solid and smooth, free from core and uniformly of the finest flavor. The tomatoes are always of the largest size; they do not become smaller even late in the season, as the healthy growth of vine and foliage carry magnificent crops until killed by frost. For tomatoes of the largest size, always perfectly smooth, firm and handsome, long-keeping qualities and finest flavor, thousands of planters agree with us that there is no other scarlet-fruited tomato that can equal Burpee's Matchless. It's been for years the favorite main-crop tomato in many sections, and that it has proved worthy is vouched for by the fact that our sales of seed have shown a steady increase. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 2 oz., 45c; ¼ lb., 80c; lb., $3.00; postpaid.

Burpee's “Trucker's Favorite” Tomato
The finest large-fruited purple tomato. Most regular in form and size, thick-meated and very solid, this is one of the largest smooth tomatoes grown. Of a beautiful purplish-red color, well ripened throughout, the smooth fleshy fruits always bring the highest prices on our Philadelphia markets, where their fine flavor is specially esteemed. The vines are of strong growth, not subject to rust or blight, and bear enormous crops until killed by frost. The fruits continue of large size to the very last and are unexcelled for slicing or cooking. It is a main crop variety, maturing the same season as the Matchless and equally as productive. As a dependable main-crop pink or purple sort, no variety in cultivation today is the equal of this Trucker's Favorite. This strain cannot be too highly recommended. Pkt., 10c; ½ oz., 20c; oz., 35c; 2 oz., 60c; ¼ lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50

Chalk's Early Jewel
The largest, smoothest, and finest-flavored extra-early bright-red tomato. Within a week to ten days as early as Sparks' Earliana, it is even a heavier cropper, with tomatoes of larger size and sweeter flavor, produced continuously throughout the season. The plants are of strong robust growth, with ample foliage to protect the fruits from sunscald; neither re they liable to blight. The bright scarlet fruits are smoothly round, very deep, and solidly meaty, with only a few quite small seed-cells, and of remarkably fine sweet flavor. For general garden planting, or where an extra fine fruit is desired for early market, we consider Chalk's Jewel to be the most desirable variety in cultivation. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 2 oz., 70c; ¼ lb., $1.10; lb., $4.00; by mail, postpaid

New Victoria “Whole-Salad”
Most prolific and best of all small “individual” tomatoes. This unique novelty is decidedly the best “individual” tomato to serve whole (as is the general custom in Europe) that we have ever grown. In our cultures at Fordhook Farms it did not mature so early as Sunnybrook Earliana, but in all other respects, the enthusiastic claims of the originator were more than maintained by the magnificent crop of fruit which was a constant delight to the eye as well as a pleasure to the palate. It bears so tremendously and continuously that twenty plants should yield more than an average family could eat in a season, unless, by reason of its fine flavor, the appetite for “whole tomato” salad increases greatly, as is, indeed, likely to be the case! The vines are of vigorous growth, and when trained on a trellis attain a height of from six to eight feet. The fruits are borne in clusters practically along the entire vine. We have counted as many as three hundred and seventy-three ripe and green tomatoes on a single plant at one time; they measure two to two and one-half inches in diameter by one and a half to one and three-quarter inches from stem to blossom end and weigh three to four ounces each. They are always solid, smooth, and firm, of a rich bright-scarlet color right up to the stem. The skin is strong but peels easily even without dipping in hot water. The firm fruits are just the right size for serving whole, while the flavor is the best we have ever found in a “whole-salad” tomato. Burpee's Fordhook-Grown Seed.

Sparks' Earliana
For early crops this is planted almost exclusively in Southern New Jersey, the section which practically controls the markets of our Eastern cities during the last week in June and the month of July. The plants are compact in growth, with short close-jointed branches, setting fruits very freely in the center. So freely are the fruits set that one plant will produce a five-eights bushel basket of tomatoes during the season of about four weeks, which covers the bearing period. The tomatoes are quite uniform in size, averaging three inches in diameter and from two to two and a half inches in depth; they are fleshy, solid, and excellent for shipping purposes. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; ¼ lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50; postpaid.

Sunnybrook Earliana
It produces a closer jointed and more compact vine, set quite as freely with fine smooth tomatoes which are usually ready to market five days earlier than any other strain. The entire crop can be gathered generally in about three weeks from the time the first fruit ripens. Sunnybrook Earliana is undoubtedly the very best earliest scarlet-fruited tomato. Gardeners who are seeking to have good smooth tomatoes “first on market” can find nothing equal. It is remarkable for its freedom from the rough fruits which southern growers call “cat-faced” tomatoes. It is a very prolific strain. Not only does the plant bear a large cluster as the crown set, but also produces a number of smaller clusters and single fruits on the side branches. This special stock is grown exclusively on our Sunnybrook Farm, in Gloucester County, New Jersey, and is sold only in sealed packages under our Registered Trade Mark. Pkt., 10c; ½ oz., 30c; oz., 50c; 2 oz., 85c; ¼ lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00; postpaid.

True Giant “Ponderosa”
As now grown by us, while still too “ribbed” for market, the fruits are so very solid and luscious that for family gardens it well merits our attention. Equaled in size only by Burpee's New Dwarf-Giant, the tomatoes are of extra fine quality for slicing. The vines are of strong growth and bear well. The deep purple fruits are oblong in form, generally ridged or ribbed. They are solidly fleshy with small seed-cells; of extra sweet flavor. Planted in good soil, fruits frequently attain a weight of one pound or more. We offer a selected strain of our own growing at Fordhook Farms that produces tomatoes smoother than usual and very meaty - “solid as a rock.” pkt., 10c; ½ oz., 30c; oz., 55c; ¼ lb., $1.50
