Mid-Season Vegetables 



the thick, crumply leaves are very distinctive and 

 the plants always command attention even when 

 not in fruit. The fruit is quite as large as best 

 requirements demand and it slices beautifully for 

 the table and canned is entirely free from that 

 pecuKar taste that characterizes the commercial 

 tomato. 



Earliana is the earliest and the most popular 

 sort of the extra early tomato and a few plants 

 for early use will be worth while. There is also 

 a new ball-shaped tomato, New Globe, that is 

 good for slicing as it gives a number of fine slices 

 just ahke instead of the three usually obtained 

 from a flat tomato, only one — the middle — being 

 perfect. So if one wants a variety in the garden 

 one may plant with entire confidence the Dwarf 

 Stone and Vaughan's Improved New Stone and 

 add for variety the Earliana and the New Globe.
