1000 DOLLARS AN ACRE FROM TOMATOES 



is the record made lastyearin growing tomatoes by the Potter Method. The cut herewith shows the appearance of such a money-making tomato patch. 

 The Potter Method is a simple, practical way of growing tomatoes right and is just as valuable to the home gardener as it is to the grower of large quantities. 



Growing Tomatoes for Quality, Quantity and Earliness 



is the name of the best booklet ever issued on the subject of tomato culture. It contains 30 pagres and illustrations fully describing: the Potter method 

 of raising - tomatoes. By this method you can have bigger and better fruit and weeks earlier than otherwise. It teaches the secret and science of tomato 

 culture: forcing- the fruit by systematic cultivation and pruning. This book is invaluable to every gardener, whether he grows one dozen or one thousand 

 vines. The subjects covered are: History of theTomato; Its Nature and Habit; Tomato Culture in General; The Potter Method; Plants and Planting:; 

 Home-Grown Plants; Preparing- the Ground; Setting the^ Plants;Cultivation; Pruning and Staking the Vines; Picking the Fruit; Ripe Tomatoes at 

 Christmas; 40 Tomato Recipes; Best Tomato Seeds. The information is condensed and to the point — just what every grower wants. 



The cut herewith shows one of a large number of vines in my garden this season. Notice that each stalk is loaded with large, perfect fruit 

 from top to bottom. This is the result of my method. It is easy to raise this kind of fruit when you know how. Just send for my book — price 

 50c, posta'ge or money order. Your money back if not satisfactory. 



FREE SEED.— To everyone ordering my booklet within the next 30 days I will send FREE with each book one package each of the best 

 varieties of early and late tomatoes. I make this offer so that you will get ready now for your spring gardening. Don't wait until the last 

 minute when the rush is on. Send for my booklet to-day and I know you will be thankful that you made such a wise investment. 



" CELESTIAL LOVE APPLES." We have just received a very limited quantity of the seed of a wonderful new variety of tomato by the above 



name. It is a very perfect and delicious fruit but it is anon-acid tomato and is most desirable for invalids and dyspeptics who ordinarily cannot eat the 



tomato. We will send twelve (12) seeds to each one ordering our booklet on tomato growing. If you don't receive them you will know the supply is out.
