Culture — Planting time, Southern States: Spring, December to March, 

 in hotbed; in open ground to June; Fall, September to November In open 

 ground. Plant Vi ounce to 150 feet of row. One ounce will produce about 

 3000 plants. Transplant from hotbed when plants .are 6 Inches high to 

 open ground, 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Tomatoes require rich, well 

 pulverized soil. If danger of frost is not over when transplanted, plants 

 must be covered at night whenever there is danger of frost To protect 

 them from insects dust with Arsenate of Lead, powdered form, about 2 

 weeks after transplanting and at 2-week intervals thereafter. Approx- 

 imate number of days from time of planting seed to edible condition it 

 given after each variety. This varies due to climatic and soil conditions. 



PONDEROSA — 125 days. Very large, very firm, crimson color, few 

 seeds, prolific producer, one of our best varieties.

 Pink and Break-O-Day. Produces a heavy early yield of uniform 

 sized fruits. Globe shaped and medium In size. 



JEFFERSON — Vigorous, prolific and wilt resistant. Fruit smooth, glob* 

 shaped and dark red in color. 



OX HEART— The home gardener who delights in introducing un- 

 usually good things into his neighborhood will be amply repaid 

 by including Ox Heart in his garden plans this spring. Among 

 large fruited tomatoes this variety is unique. In form it is distinct, 

 since it is almost exactly the shape of a heart as the name implies, 

 and single fruits sometimes weigh more than two pounds. 



BREAK O' DAY — One of the wilt-resistant varieties. An early tomato re- 

 sembling Marglobe but of higher scarlet color and not so distinctly 

 globe shaped. It is slightly earlier than our stocks of Marglobe. The 

 vines are vigorous and productive. Planted extensively in trucking 

 districts and gives excellent results. 



BRIMMER — 90 days. A pink fruited variety; similar to Ponderosa. Fruits 

 large, tlat and rough, small seed cells, of inviting flavor. 



CERTIFIED MARGLOBE — 79 days. Plants vigorous with heavy foliage, 

 resistant to wilt and rust; moderately productive. Fruits medium large, 

 globular, smooth, solid with thick walls and cross sections, a fine 

 variety.

 stems thick and short. Extremely hardy and can be set out very early. 

 Purplish pink color, medium quality and excellent variety. 



GROTHEN'S GLOBE — 70 days. A new early maturing wilt resistant va- 

 riety. Fruits deep scarlet and free from objectionable yellow about 

 the stem end. 



LOUISIANA DIXIE— 74 days. Originally bred from Louisiana Pink. Re 

 sistant to wilt and early blight. Fruits are medium to large in size and 

 globe shaped. Fruit is a very good pink color, does not crack, prolific 



producer. 



LOUISIANA GULF STATES— 77 days. A highly refined variety of the 

 ordinary Gulf States Market. Vigorous growing, high in yield, and will 

 resist wilt. Color is a good pink, globe shaped and resistant to cracking. 



LOUISIANA PINK — Same as Louisiana Red, except in color. 



LOUISIANA RED — Wilt resistant tomato, medium size, small seed cavity, 

 heavy bearer, fruits borne In large clusters and "'"»"«♦ globe shaped.

 tions. Free from cracking and the quality Is much superior to other 

 varieties. Matures only a few days later than some early varieties. 



RUTGERS — 77 days. Extensively planted for shipping purposes. Large, 

 uniform, purplish pink variety, globe shaped ana tree from cracks 

 and blemishes. Firm skin, smooth and solid with few seeds. This 

 variety is resistant to blight and matures uniformly.
