TOMATO. 



Liehesapfel, GliR. Tonuiic', Fr. Totnate, Sp. 



For early plants sow in hot-beds early in 

 March, in drills 5 inches apart and \ inch deep; 

 when tiie plants are about 2 inches high, trans- 

 plant into another hot-bed 4 inches apart each 

 way; plant out in the open ground early in May, 

 or as soon as danger from frost is over, 4 feet apart 

 each way in hills, wiiich should have a shovel- 

 ful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil. 

 Water freely at time of transplanting ; when the 

 first fruit is set, pinch oft' the ends of the 

 branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants 

 for a small garden can be grown in a shallow 

 box or' a large flower-pot, by placing it in a 

 sunny window in a warm room or kitchen. 

 For late use, sow in a sheltered border in May, 

 and set out the plants in July; the green fruit 

 can be picked off before frost and be ripened 

 under glass. By training the Tomato vines on 

 trellises or tying to stakes, they will increase in 

 productiveness; the fruit will ripen better and 

 Idc of finer quality. 



Ringleader. A remarkably large and 

 heavy-fruited Tomato, deep red in color. 

 Flesh very thick, solid and of excellent 

 quality. It is a second early variety, and 

 should not be depended upon for early fruit.

 Ked 3Iikado. We consider this one of 

 the best. For slicing it will be found excel- 

 lent, as it has few seeds and is very solid.

 large size, borne in clusters of 4 to 7, and ripen evenly. Pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., \ lb. 80 cts. 

 Royal Red. Royal Red is a first-class main crop variety, 

 and will prove of special value to canners and catsup makers 

 by reason of its beautiful deep red color. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 

 30 cts., \ lb. 80 cts.

 mense clusters; in solidity and mealiness it has no equal.
