 This season, owiiio |o the low prices car

 picked four tons of t<imatoes last season. 

 The \arieties are t omet and Loiillard. 

 L'awsoii's .\rliiiyton White Spine is the

 followed here is to plant tlu' tomato 

 plants in rows hetween carnations, whiidi 

 are thrown out in .Ma.v, liy whiih time 

 the t<imatees are well estalilished. .\ii
