 immediately after the earliest sorts. Enormously 

 productive and continues to bear large tomatoes

BONNY BEST TOMATO.— Of all recent in- 

 troductions this tomato has surprised us for its 

 demand. We cannot speak too highly for it to 

 anyone who wants an Extra Early Red Tomato.

CULTURE OF TOM.\TO.— Seed may be started in hot-bed in Maich, or sufficient 

 plants for family use can be grown in pots or boxes indoors with very little trouble. 

 Be particular to give plants the benefit of fresh air and sun whenever judicious, for 

 the purpose of hardening them, and cover with mats when necessary to prevent them 

 from frosting. The two extremes of heat and cold are equally injurious. It is cus- 

 tomary with the best gardeners to remove the plants from the hot-beds to the cold 

 frames, allowing a distance of several inches between the plants. In May select and 

 prepare the soil, and set the plants three feet each way. Hoe and draw earth to the 

 stems. When the plants crowd the fruit will be small. Have the soil vcr>; rich. For 

 general crop, sow from the middle of April or during May in the open air, selecting 

 good soil in a location much exposed to the sun and sheltered by a lull, or woods on 

 the north. 



JUNE PINK TOMATO.— Introduced by a southern New Jersey 

 market t;ardcner. Verj' early, grows in clusters and very produc- 

 tive. Its habits are just like the Earliana, only the color is purple- 

 pink like the I'amous Prize-Taker Tomato. See full description on 

 page 1. 



BOLGIANO'S GRAND TOMATO.— .\fter years of careful selec- 

 tion and plant breeding we have been able to secure a tomato which 

 is in every way better than cither the Beauty or Prize-Taker Tomato. 

 See full description on page 1. 



SPARKS' EARLIANA.— This is undoubtedly the earliest large, 

 -niii(>tli 'romatii ever introduced. Perfect as to shape, color and 

 quality. It is beautiful red and ripens thoroughly, even to the stem 

 end. Almost seedless and very solid. There is no tomato brought out 

 that is as prolific in yield; it bears its fruit in large clusters and con- 

 tinues to fruit until frost. Packets, 5 and 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 

 Yi, pound, 75 cents; ;l. pound, $1.25; pound, $2,50. 



BOLGIANO'S PRIZE-TAKER TOMATO.— After years of care- 

 ful test this tomato is recognized as being the most beautiful tomato 

 produced. Its beautiful, glossy purplish-pink color, combined with its 

 large size, smoothness, solidity, weight, and productiveness, make it 

 the most profitable tomato grown by the market gardener. It can be 

 picked before it is ripe and will ripen finely, making it one of the best 

 shippers. Packets, 5 and 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; Ya pound, 40 cents; 

 pound, $1.25.
