I CULTURE.—Sow seed in a box or hot-bed and transplant at least once to get strong roots. When danger of frost is 
: over set in open ground, three to five feet apart each way, and cultivate thoroughly. An ounce of seed will produce 
about 3,500 plants ; enough for an acre. 
The Enormous Tomato, bred by Mr. 
Miesse, was first introduced to the The Enormous ‘Tomato. 
public in my catalogue for 1899, hav- 
| Ing been sent out the previous year 
in packets for trial, under the name 
“Hight to the Yard.” Hnormous, 
however, was not bred merely for 
large size. The name was selected 
from the fact that it seemed to apply 
better to this wonderful tomato than 
any other. In comparative trials with 
other sorts, under ordinary condi- 
tions, Enormous has made a record 
for both quality and quantity, while 
the beauty of the fruit makes it an 
easy and quick seller in all markets. 
The fruit is remarkably solid and 
firm; flesh is thick and heavy and 
there are but few seeds. In color, 
Enormous is a clean, deep red with 
no purple tint or shading. One cor- 
respondent says it was free from rot 
where others rotted: Another says 
that in size and flavor it was the 
leader. Another praises its ability 
to bear right up to the coming of 
heavy frosts. Another alludes to its 
small seed product. Another dilates 
upon its great size and fine color. 
Another praises its smoothness and 
its keeping qualities, Another reports 
double prices for all he could raise, 
his customers were so pleased with it. 
Another writes for canning purposes 
it is unsurpassed by any other known sort. And, finally, | tomato, of great size and productive ability, and of the highest 
truckers of long experience, after reviewing its various attri-| amateur and commercial quality. No American garden is 
butes, say it is the best tomato they ever raised. Hnormous is | up-to-date until Enormous Tomato has a place in it. Every- 
now universally recognized as a standard main crop red| body is pleased with it for domestic and shipping purposes. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents; quarter pound, $1.25; pound, $4.00.
