Wholesome and delicious whether used raw, cooked, or canned. 



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 1st. Plant outdoors, 3 feet apart each way, about the end 

 of May. One ounce of seed will produce about 2500 

 plants. 



The Earliest Sorts 



914 Ideal Early 



A new extra-early variety ready for the table a day or two later 

 than the earliest sorts. However, it greatly surpasses these in 

 producing large, smooth, deep globe shaped fruits which are very 

 solid. Of rich scarlet color, free from cracks and remaining in 

 good firm condition long after being picked. Pkt. 25c; j oz. 55c; 

 oz. SI. 00. 



894 Bonny Best. An early variety, popular all over the 

 country. The scarlet fruits are almost round, and are pro- 

 duced in abundance. This is also a good forcing Tomato. 

 Pkt. 10c; i oz. 25c; oz. 40c; J lb. SI. 25. 



896 Break O'Day. A recent introduction and aptly called 

 "The Early Marglobe" as it matures about 10 or 12 days 

 ahead of that variety. The fruits are similar, being round, 

 smooth, solid, and of a fine scarlet color. Highly resistant to 

 disease. Pkt. 10c; $ oz. 25c; oz. 40c; i lb. SI. 25.

 fruits. Pkt. 10c; £ oz. 25c; oz. 40c; i lb. SI. 25. 



940 Pritchard or Scarlet Topper 



-fa A fine early Tomato with large, smooth, globular fruits ripening 

 to a clear scarlet right up to the stem end. The flesh is deep red 

 and the fruit has few seeds and no core. Like all early tomatoes 

 it amply repays liberal fertilizing to secure the largest yields.

Second Early and Main Crop Tomatoes 



These mature later than the earliest varieties continuing the 

 crop until frost puts an end to their bearing. While all we list 

 are good, we recommend particularly Marhio and Rutger's 

 which are still comparatively new.

 of the rich crimson Tomatoes, very solid and smooth. Resembles 

 Ponderosa in shape. Pkt. 10c; J oz. 30c; oz. 50c; i lb. $1.50.

 globes in shape. They average 6 ounces each and are borne 

 in clusters of 4 to 6. It is one of the most solid of all tomatoes.

 has a delightful flavor. Pkt. 10c; f oz. 25c; oz. 45c; { lb. S1.35.

923 Marglobe 



This fine second-early produces large, smooth, meaty, 

 globular, red fruits which ripen evenly and are free from 

 cracks. An extremely heavy cropper, particularly valuable 

 in districts troubled with rust and wilt as in many of the 

 Southern States, because it is decidedly wilt-resistant.

927 Oxheart. An attractive variety of most distinct form, 

 producing deep heart-shaped fruits some of which are of immense
