n, Liebesapfel. TOJVTA.TO. French, Tomate. 



Sow the seed in a hot-bed first week in March, in drills half an inch deep. "When the plants are about two inches high, 

 transplant into another hot-bed or into small pots, one in each pot; in that way the plants are strengthened and branch 

 out better. Set the plants out about the first of June, about three feet apart, for early crop, mixing a shovelful of well- 

 rotted manure in each hill. For late crops, or where the soil is heavy, plant four feet apart. Water freely when transplant- 

 ing and protect from the sun for a few days until "the plants are fairly started. A few plants may be raised by sowing 

 Seed in a pot or a box in the house. 1 oz. to 1,500 plants. % lb. for transplanting on an acre. 



CREAM CITY. 



CREAM CITY TOMATO. The First Large Tomato to Ripen. 

 Remarkably Prolific. Flesh Thick and Solid. 



A variety of exceptional merit, coming into use as early as 

 Early Ruby and other small and unshapely extra early sorts. 

 It is perfectly smooth and symmetrical in shape, and as larg-e 

 as Perfection. The plants are strong and vigorous, bearing 

 an abundance of large, smooth fruit of a beautiful purplish 

 crimson color. The flesh is remarkably thick, firm and solid, 

 and of very fine quality with very few seeds. It is an excel- 

 lent shipper. Does not crack or rot, as is the case 'with many 

 of the old sorts. 



The Cream City is the most profitable tomato for the mar- 

 ket gardener and trucker, and is unsurpassed for canning 

 purposes. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Vi lb. SOc; 1 lb $2.75
