C ULTURE.—The seed should be sown about 14 inch deep during March or early A pril in a hotbed, greenhouse, 
TOMATO 
or window of a room, where a night temperature of not less than 60 degrees 7s kept. When the plants are about two 
inches high, they should be set out three inches apart in boxes three inches deep, or potted into three-inch pots, allow- 
ing a single plant toa pot. They are sometimes shifted a second time into larger pots, by which process the plants 
are rendered more sturdy and branching. About the middle of May in this latitude, the plants may be set in the open ground. 
885 EARLIANA 
This is still the best extra early Tomato for the 
family garden, as it bears a very heavy crop quite 
early in the season. It has excellent flavor and is 
remarkably solid. (See tllustration.) 
Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; 4 Ib., $1.75. 
877 BONNY BEST 
Large Size Tomatoes Bright Scarlet in Color 
Bonny Best is decidedly the “best’’ in its class. 
It is almost as early as Earliana; and is a larger 
tomato, and a heavier cropper. The fruits are deep 
scarlet in color, very smooth, perfectly round, solid 
and meaty. Bonny Best is also an excellent variety 
for the canner, as it yields from 12 to 15 tons to the 
acre. (See zllusiration.) 
Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; 4 lb., $1.75.

878 BREAK-O’-DAY 
A Solid Extra Early Variety—Disease Resistant 
It is a cross between Marglobe and another variety, not as yet in- 
troduced to commerce. It is greatly disease-resistant and is the same 
shape, color and size as Marglobe but much more solid; and to crown 
all is 10 to 12 days earlier im ripening. This means that Break-O’-Day 
will ripen along with Bonny Best and the other extra early tomatoes, 
but excels them in size, solidity and seedlessness. 
Price, pkt., 20c; oz., 80c; 14 Ib., $2.50. 
893 GLOBE 
This variety is glossy pink with purple tinge. It is distinctly globe 
planed, large size, and of the finest quality, making it very desirable for 
slicing. 
Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; 14 Ib., $1.75. 
894 MARGLOBE Resists Rust and Wilt 
Almost round; of large size, and bright red color. It is one of the most 
productive tomatoes in cultivation. 
Marglobe is early and continues bearing over a long period of time. 
It possesses a delicious flavor, it is attractive and it is immune to wilt 
ead rust, and the tenaciousness of its skin, minimizes cracking of the 
Tut. : 
Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c; 14 Ib., $2.00. 
901 RUTGERS 
For the Home Garden, Market and Canning 
This new variety developed by the New Jersey 
Agricultural Experiment Station produces a sturdy 
plant with thick stem and an abundance of foliage to 
protect the fruits from sunscald. The fruits are large 
and similar in shape to Marglobe but ripen earlier and 
are of a bright scarlet color. The flesh is firm and red 
throughout which makes it an ideal canning and juice 
tomato. (See zllustration.) 
Price, pkt., i5c; oz., 90c; 14 Ib., $2.50. 
905 THE PRITCHARD 
or SCARLET TOPPER 
For its disease resistant qualities, it supersedes all 
others. The vines are very sturdy in growth—shorter 
than the Marglobe—and they produce the heaviest 
crops of any of its class. 
Unlike other early varieties, Scarlet Topper continues 
to bear long after the other sorts have ceased. The 
fruits are large, from 3 to 314 inches in diameter, and 
perfectly globe shaped. 
Price, pkt., 20c; oz., 90; 14 Ib., $2.50. 
906 STONE 
One of the popular main crop varieties. The plant is 
a strong grower, is very prolific and produces a crop of 
large, smooth fruits almost round in shape, very deep 
and slightly flattened at base and top. 
Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; 14 Ib., $1.75.
