New Early Tomato "FREEDOM. in 1898
Shown on colored plate opposite.
ALMOST every grower and bu3'er of Tomatoes boasts, with more or less justice, that he has the "earliest Tomato." The claim so often reiterated clearly evidences the absolute need of such a vegetable. Years ago we introduced Early Ruby, which has ever since held a prominent place in the gardening world. In common with other varieties, it had a few faults, but we have now secured a sort that will prove to be not only as early, but, so far as we are able to judge, the equal of any sort for form, color, solidity, or any other essential quality. We have tried it now two successive seasons, and in each case it has been as early as Early Ruby and a host of other claimants for earliness. Its value, however, lies not only in the actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that such enormous quantities of fruit can be gathered while all other so-called "Earliest" are ripening only a few.
To bring this down to figures, we may say that on August 6th we gathered from one row of Early Ruby 34 fruits, from Acme 14 fruits, while from FREEDOM the number gathered was 46, and they were all sown and transplanted at the same time.
These figures indicate clearly its great and prolific earliness, and this, combined with its handsome appearance, renders it- preeminently the best early sort. The plant is medium in size, presenting no peculiarity of foliage or habit. The fruit is borne mainly in clusters, perfectly round, having no sign of concave at base, of a bright dazzling shade of scarlet. We cannot say absolutely what sort of a shipper it will make, as it has never been put to actual experience, but we judge from the texture and toughness of the skin that it will equal any of the varieties in this respect. The flesh is remarkably solid, having but few seeds. The flavor is perfect, absolutely free from any acidity.
We call attention to our illustration on colored plate opposite, for further acquaintance with this variety, and have no hesitancy whatever in recommending it to any class of growers, not only for extreme early use, but as a good all round variety, for until quite late in the fall in the two years we have grown it, we have been able to gather good fruit from this variety, while others had long; since ceased fruiting.
