TOMATO. 



Tomate, Fr. Toiuats, Sp. 



For early plants sow in hotbeds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and \ inch deep; when the plants are about 2 inches 

 high transplant into another hotbed 4 inches apart each way ; plant out in the open ground ea'ly in May, or as soon as danger 

 from frost is over, 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water 

 freely at time of transplanting ; when the first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants 

 for a small garden can be grown in a shallow box or 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 oft" before frost and 

 ripened under glass. By training the vines on trellises or tying to stakes, the fruit will ripen belter and be of finer qualiiy.

 Best Of All. This is strictly a forcing Tomato, and for 



the purpose is far superior to either the Lorillard or 



Mayflower. The vines grow strong and healthy, and 



produce Tomatoes in heavy bunches at short distances 



all over the plant. The fruits grow to a good size, 



are very solid and firm, containing but few seeds ; color 



deep scarlet. Pkt., 15 cts. ; \ oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 els. 

 Lorillard {Forcing). A good sort for forcing under 



glass as well as for outdoor culture; bright, red, smooth, 



early. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts; \ lb., 85 els. 

 Mayflower. Excellent for forcing or outside use ; me- 

 dium size; bright red. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; \ lb., 



75 cts. 

 Dreer's Earliest of All. Very early, medium size. 



Flesh is solid, color brilliant red. The fruits grow in 



clusters, and continue to ripen until fall. Pkt., 10 cts.; 



oz., 35 cts.; 1 lb., $1.00. 

 The Marvel. (See cut.) This is a distinct variety, 



noted for its marvelous productiveness and fine quality. 



The Tomatoes are of medium size and in shape almost 



round like an apple. They grow in clusters all over 



the vine. The color when ripe is a light red, very at- 

 tractive, and the Tomatoes are extremely solid, few 



seed and of sweet flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; \ 



lb„ $1 00. 

 The Stone. (See cut.) Dreer's selected stock. Fruit very 



large and deep; bright scarlet; smooth, ripening evenly to 



the stem without a crack ; exceedingly solid and firm-fleshed, 



of the finest quality ; the best for family use and for canneries. 



Our tests since the introduction of this sort have proved it to 



lie a superior Tomato. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; \ lb., 75 cts.

 riety for general use, of large size, bright red color and 



smooth. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts ; \ lb., 75 cts.
