SOS Ruby Gold—We have this, bred true to type, and it is a large, luscious and superlatively beautiful rruit. Color outside ruby-red suffused marble and blended with gold. Inside a beautiful canary-yellow variegated with rich ruby. This ruby color generally shows as a ring or crescent near the center, and makes at slice wonderfully attractive.

S9i Scarlet Beauty—A grand new variety well de- serving or its name, as when It Is in Dill rruit it is a beautirul sight. The rruit is or a rich deep scarlet measuring about 7 Inches round, smooth and glossy, with a deep flesh almost without core. Each plant pro duces a wonderful crop or heavy trusses, the produee rrora some plants being as much as H orn I5 to 18 lbs. or rruit.

The size or llrst fruits reaches the enormous weight or three pounds, but the average fruit weighs about one pound. It is perrectly filled out, containing no hollows like many varieties, and the surrace is as smooth as an apple. The flesh is more solid than any variety ever known. It is a magniiicent dark red shade which makes it very at- tractive. It is very sweet and tree from acid. The yield is enormous and not equalled by any other varie- ty, while it has proven to be absolutely blight resisting. It is medium late in ripening, but carries its enormous load of I'ruit until rail, the vines remaining in strong, healthy condition. Best Tomato known ror picking green late in the rail to be ripened inside. It has a very tough outer skin and the firmest flesh or any va- riety we know and carries well. We have received two- pound fruits by parcel post from California in perrect condition during the hottest weather or summer. The yield Tor us last year was about live hundred bushels or perrect selected rruit rrom five hundred plant;, ran you beat it? It does finely on a medium poor soil. The most novel Tomato we have ever grown and the greatest departure from other known varieties. Pkt.. i»9C; 3 pkts.
