 later varieties, and is a par- 

 ticularly profitable Tomato for 

 market gardeners and truckers.

German, Liebesapfel. French, Tomato. 



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 

 shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. For latp' 

 crops, or where the soil is heavy, plant four feet apart. 

 Water freely when transplanting 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 ox. to 1,500 plants. % lb. for transplanting on an acre. 



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 large as Perfection. The plants are strong and 

 vigorous, bearing an abundance of large, smooth fruit of 

 a beautiful purplish crimson color. The flesh is remark- 

 ably thick, firm and solid, and of very fine quality with 

 very few seeds. It is an excellent 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 market gardener and 

 trucker, and is unsurpassed for 

 canning purposes. Pkt. 10c; oz. 

 30c; M lb. 85c; 1 lb. $3.00.

 ajid agreeable; splendid slic- 

 ing variety. The fruit
