TOMATOES 



1 oz. to 2,000 plants; ^ lb. per acre. 



All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced growers and 

 experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all new varieties before placing them in our catalog, and therefore strongly 

 recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. 



For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and 

 half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches high they should 

 be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the 

 pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a 

 few days until the plants are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three 

 workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the plants. 



Extra Early Varieties 



Improved Advance ^rhigiT q"afity?Toun7\*? 



slightly flattened shape, and exceptionally smooth for such 

 an early variety. As early and hardy as Earliana and yield- 

 ing more fruit both in the first and subsequent pickings. 

 It is more shapely, more free from cracks and shows less 

 green about the stem than other extra early sorts. With 

 Improved Advance the grower can produce a crop which 

 will stand superior in appearance and quality, in compe- 

 tition with the other extra earlies and command the fancy 

 prices of an early market.

 "of Agriculture describes his new crea- 

 tion as follows: "Very productive, early variety, highly re- 

 sistant to wilt and somewhat resistant to blights. Fruits 

 large, smooth, meaty, red, globular."
