Gor early, the seed should be sown In hot-bed during February > 

 he first week in March, in drills five inches apart, and half an > 

 " inch deep. Later sowings may be made until the last of April. 



When the plants are three or four inches high they should be 



set out four or five inches apart, in another hot-bed 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, espe- >

^' Earliana. — This new Tomato has been originated and 

 developed in Southern New Jersey. It is the earliest smooth 

 bright red Tomato of good size now in cultivation. The 

 plants are quite hardy with rather slender open branches 

 and moderate growth, well set with fruits, nearly all of 

 which ripen very early in the season. The Tomatoes are 

 deep scarlet, generally smooth, but not equal in size to 

 those of the best varieties that are slightly later in matur- 

 ing; they grow in clusters of 5 to fi, fruit averaging 2 '-^ inches 

 in diameter. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 75c ; i lb., $2.00. 



^Improved Atlantic Prize Tomato. — Great im- 

 provements have been made in this distinctive earlj^ Tomato, 

 which has been lacking in size and symmetry. This is all 

 changed now, and instead of the small, rough, deeply cor- 

 rugated fruits of the " Hundred Day" type, we have in the 

 Atlantic Prize a variety-bearing fruit which in size, shape, 

 color, solidity and quality will compare favorably with the 

 later kinds, and by repeated trials we have demonstrated 

 that it ripens up a large proportion of its crop the earliest 

 of any variety. We do not hesitate to pronounce it the 

 largest, best flavored and brightest-colored red extra early 

 Tomato. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c ; i lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 

 Lf' Liivingstou's Beauty. — A decided favorite for 

 ^ther home, market or shipping purposes, being early, 

 hardy; a strong grower; productive, large .size; always 

 smooth; perfect in shape, of fine quality. The color is a 

 very glossy crimson. It is very firm fleshed; has a tough 

 skin and but few seeds. It seldom cracks after a rain, like 

 many other sorts; very uniform, and bears until frost. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., 15c.; i lb , 50c.,; lb., $1.75. 



Improved Atlantic Prize. 



Maryland Pride. — Since our introduction of it in 

 1895, it has been grown with great success by canners and 

 market gardeners, who pronounce it "the very best second 

 early and main crop Tomato they have ever grown." The 

 fruit is of a beautiful bright red color, magnificent 

 size and handsome, smooth shape. The vines grow 

 vigorous, and produce abundantly until killed by 

 frost. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; ilb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 



^ Success. — This Tomato was originated by Wm. 

 Misse, of Ohio, an expert Tomato grower, the fruit 

 is of a bright scarlet, handsome appearance, large size 

 and very productive. The vines are of strong, vigor- 

 ous growth with abundant foliage. The fruits set in 

 clusters, are very even and regular in size, averaging 

 three inches in diameter and two to two and a half 

 inches through from stem to blossom end. It ripens 

 with the second earlies and yields abundantly through- 

 out the season. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20.; i lb., 75c.; lb., 



* Liivingston's Favorite. — The canners' fa- 

 vorite and one of the best and largest perfect-shaped 

 red Tomatoes in cultivation. Ripens evenly and as 

 early as any other good red sort, holding its size to 

 the end of the season ; free from cracks, and is not 



apt to rot at the blossom end ; very prolific, good 



flavor, few seeds, flesh solid, bears shipping long dis. „ J^rT p /^
