Growing Tomatoes for Quality, Quantity, and Earliness 



is tlie name of the best booklet ever issued on the subjei- t rtf tomato 

 culture. It contains 30 pages and illustrations fully describing the 

 Potter method of raising tomatoes. By this method you have bigger 

 and better fruit, and weeks earlier than otherwise. It teaches the 

 secret and science of tomato culture, forcing the fruit by systematic 

 cult ivation and pruning. This book is invaluable to every gardener, 

 whether he grows one dozen or one thousand vines. The subjects 

 covered are: History of the Tomato ; Its Nature and Habit ; Tomato 

 Culture in General; The Potter Method; Plants and Planting; Home- 

 grown Flints; Preparing the Ground; .Setting the Plants; Culti- 

 vation; Pruning and Staking the Vines; Picking the Fruits; Ripe 

 Tomatoes at Christmas; 40 Tomato Recipes; Best Tomato Seeds. 



The information is condensed and fo the point— just what every 

 grower wants. 



The cut herewith shows one of a large number of vines in my 

 ganlen this season. Notice that each stalk is loaded with large, per- 

 fect fruit from top to bottom. This is the result of my method. 



It is easy to raise this kind of fruit when you know how. Just 

 send for my book — price 50 cents, postage or money order. Your 

 money bark if not satisfactory. 



FREE SEED. — 'I"o every one ordering my booklet within the next

 varieties of early and late tomatoes. I make this olTer so that you

 last minute when tlie rush is on. Send for my booklet today, and 

 I know you will be tluinkful that you mai.le such a wise investment.
