fin 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 five inches 
apart and half an inch deep. Later sowing 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 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 thor- 
oughly 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 2,000 plants; 4% lb to an

EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. 
Electric. Being constantly on the alert to obtain new 
varieties of real merit, we have secured from 
the originator in Denmark a small supply of this very 
valuable Tomato. The originator claims it to be the 
very earliest and best variety in cultivation, a robust 
grower, heavy cropper, producing bunches of 10 to 14 
fruits, always smooth, of fair size, Pkt. 10c.; oz. 60c.

Sparks Earliana. of Tomato, and produces large clus- 
ters of fair size fruits, which are very uniform in_ size 
and shape. It is hardy and can be set out early. Color 
of flesh deep red, very solid and fine flavor. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 
20¢.; % Ib. 60c.; lb, $2.00.

many growers. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c.; % 1b, 75c.; lb. $2.50.

in two or three days as early as Harliana. Very prolific, 
with liberal foliage to protect the fruit from the hot sun. 
The beautiful scarlet-red fruit is set in clusters of 5 or 
more. Its great characteristic is that it ripens each set- 
ting of fruit nearly all at once, and ripens evenly all 
es up to the stem. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c.; %4 Ib. 75c.; Ib,
