CULTURE —For the first crop sow seeds of the earliest sorts 
under glass or in the house about the middle of February. When 
they are 4 inches tall transplant into flats or a spent hotbed to 
stand 4 inches apart each way. Give plenty of air on sunny days 
to harden properly. For the main crop, sow seeds of the second- 
early and main crop varieties in a hotbed or warm cold-frame by 
April ist. Plant outdoors, 3 feet apart each way, about the end 
of May. One ounce of seed will produce about 2500 
plants.

% A fine early Tomato with large, smooth, globular fruits 
ripening to a clear scarlet right up to the stem end. The flesh

early tomatoes it amply repays liberal fertilizing to secure 
the largest yields. Pkt. 15c; 3 oz. 35c; oz. 60c; ~ Ib. $1.75.
