TOMATO 



{Ly coper sicum esculentum var. vulgar e.) In all probability a native of Peru. The name is derived from the 

 Aztec word Xitomate, the vegetable having been prized and extensively cultivated by the natives long before the 

 discovery of America. It has probably been under a high state of cultivation for at least 2,000 years. The present 

 American seed-supply comes largely from New Jersey and southern California; Michigan and Indiana produce 

 some seed. German, Liebesapfel; Italian, Porno d'oro; Polish, Pomidor 



One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants, which if planted 4 by 4 feet will cover an acre 

 P !• Days to maturity, 125. This remarkable Tomato was introduced by Johnson & Stokes about 



lliania.na.. twenty-three years ago under the name of Spark's Earliana. Ever since the year of its 

 introduction, it has known wide popularity among all growers who produce for the earliest markets. Due 

 to its earliness, it has certain weaknesses, such as lightness of foliage, lack of solidity in the fruit and the thin 

 wall which tends to cracking the Tomato around the stem end. Also high in acidity. Our strain may be 

 looked upon as a reliable one. Price, large pkt. lOc, oz. 35c., Vilb. $1.25, lb. $4.00, 5 lbs. $19.00, delivered. 



Days to maturity, 125. This pink-fruited Earliana was originated in New Jersey and 

 introduced by J. V. Crine. It resembles the Earliana in almost every respect, except in 

 its color. June Pink is used very largely in certain districts of Texas for shipment to the northern markets.
