See Illustration on Front Cover 
The excellent reports and increased demand for this Tomato certainly justify our giving it first place 
among the best varieties offered to our trade again this season. 
In dry and irrigated sections, it has excelled all other varieties, due to its strong vine growth which 
well protects the fruit. 
The Monumental comes to maturity just a few days later than the extra early varieties, is an exception- 
ally heavy yielder bearing throughout the season, holding its size to the last picking. It is large, solid, with 
no core and yery small seed cavity. Almost perfectly round or globe shape with very slight, almost imper- 
ceptible indentation at the stem and none at the blossom end. A beautiful brilliant red, it colors evenly 
to the stem. It bears its fruit in clusters well to the centre of the hill. Its keeping qualities are unequalled, 
green fruit taken from the vines ripened up perfectly after having been picked for two and three weeks 
making it an ideal variety for long distance shipping. Market Gardeners have found it to be the best all<= 
season variety; many growers report as much as fifteen tons of tomatoes to the acre. Our friends in the 
canning industry say it is the best they have ever used, giving exceptionally large yields of perfect fruit. 
Our Texas friends state it is the best tomato ever seen in The Rio Grande Valley. Pkts., 25c. Oz. 50c.

Cultural Suggestions 
For Salad Broccoli 
Select a good piece of land, medium soil, plow thoroughly. Drill in about 4 to 500 Ibs. of a high grade fertilizer. Sow 
in rows from 30 to 32 inches apart. It is best to use a seed planter. Sow to depth of % inch. Use about 2 Ibs. per acre. 
Sow from the 10th to the 20th of August. Cultivate 2 or 3 times in Fall. 
In cold weather the tops will die down. As soon as it begins to get a little warm in February use a top dressing of 
Nitrate of Soda or some quick acting fertilizer. Cultivate after putting the top dressing on. The leaves may be cut and 
shipped to northern markets like New York City, commanding a fine price. 
About middle of March it will begin to stalk up with several shoots on each stalk with green blossoms. When stalks 
get about 8 inches high cut and tie in bunches like asparagus with one and one-half lbs. per bunch. Ship in crates 2 
dozen bunches per crate. If weather is warm cutting will commence around the middle of March and last until around 
the 10th of April. If weather is warm can be cut 2 to 3 times per week. 
After cutting is over the land then ean be used for other crops. Pkts., 25e. Oz., 50c. % lb., 75c. Lb., $2.50. Postpaid.
