R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
TOMATO. 
Tomates, (Sp.) Liebes Apfel, (GER.) 
Culture. Sow thinly about the first week in March 
in a hot-bed, greenhouse, window, or sitting 
room, where the temperature is never below 60 
degrees. When two inches high set out the plants 
in boxes about four inches apart, or pot singly. 
About the first of June they may be transferred to 
the open ground. Set them deeply, four feet apart, 
and a shovelful of rotted manure should be mixed 
in the earth of each hill. If the vines are trained on 
trellis, the fruit will be finer and larger. One ounce 
of seed produces about 1500 plants; } lb. for an acre.

Farquhar’s Bountiful. 4 new forcing 
Tomato of superior flavor, perfect in shape, of good 
size, and setting freely. The fruits are bright red 
in color, very solid, and grow in clusters of 7 to 
@° 9. Pkt., .25; 4 0z., 1.25. 
Mr. H. N. Smith, South Sudbury, Mass., Dec. 
13th, 1909 writes:—Your new Tomato the 
‘Bountiful’ is certainly appropriately named, for 
I find it to be one of the most productive varieties 
I have grown. The fruit sets freely in large 
clusters. Seven to nine perfectly formed specimens 
are not uncommon, and it covers a long season of 
fruitage. The vines are strong, thrifty growers, 
healthy in appearance, the foliage holding its bright 
green color late in the season. It is one of the best 
flavored hot-house Tomatoes I have ever tasted.”
