SUPERIOR TOMATO SEED 



Ail our Tomato Seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators and experienced grower* 



and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of any new variety before placing' them in our 



Catalogue, and therefore recommend at least a trial to our customers and friends. 



For early, the seed should be sown in hotbed during 

 February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches 

 apart and half an inch deep. Later sowing may be marie 

 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, allow- 

 ing a single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as 

 possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplant- 

 ing, 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. 1 oz. to 2000 

 plants; 14 lb. to art acre.
