Oet tbe Cienuine in oar Sealed Packages. 



THE GREAT 

 CANNER. 



IT is scarcely necessary to speak of this GREAT TOMAi^tv 

 among tho'se who have used it, because they have Ixao^mr 

 our best advertisers, constantly praising, and persBadl*;; 

 others to use it. Our sales of seed of this sort have la 

 creased each vear far beyond our expectation. It is wi*- 

 out exception one of the best for Canners, Market Gardeaers 

 or private use, because of its solidity, symmetrical shape, 

 handsome bright red color, uniformity of ripening and freedom 

 from rot. Its shipping and keeping qualities are unexcelled. 

 The gentleman who superintends the growing of this seed for 

 us savs: "I desire to call especial attention to this stock; it is 

 particularly solid and of fine flavor, the fruit is good size, 

 smooth and certainly attractive. I venture to say without fear 

 of contradiction that your Tomato will bear off the palm for 

 quality and flavor In the hands of impartial judges. Parties 

 around here who saw some of the fruit said they had never 

 seen any better Tomato." We could get any number of testi- 

 monials to bear us out in all we say about this excellent 

 Tomato.

BEWARE OF CHEAP TOMATO SEEDS, saved In canning- houses, as it is sure to be a mixture of different sorts. 

 We take special care in growing onr Tomato Seeds. AVe have the seed stocks selected carefully each year, 

 and the crops are inspected by us during the period of growth and maturity of fruit, and we are thus pre- 

 pared to offer onr customers Seed of the first auality. 



FOR Eaklt Fkuit sow the seed in March or April, in the 

 hot-bed or in pots in a sunny exposure in the house. 

 When the plants are about three or four inches high 

 they should be set out four or five inches apart in an- 

 other hot-bed or cold-frame, or removed into small 

 pats, allowing a single plant to a pot. Expose to the air as 

 much as possible to harden, and about the middle of May set 

 the plants in the open ground, at a distance of four or five 

 feet each way. Water freely at the time of transplanting, 

 and shelter from the sun for a few days until the plants are 

 established. Suflicient plants for a small garden may be had 

 by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or flower pot, and 

 placing in a sunny window in the house. Cultivate thor- 

 oughly as long as the vines will permit. 



Tomatoes will admit of training to stakes or trellis of vari- 

 ous kinds, and the fruit is very much improved both in ap- 

 pearance and quality. This mode of cultivation is now quite 

 common among gardeners who grow for early market. The 

 usual method is to set one strong plant to a stake, using 

 stakes five to seven feet in height, tying the plants up with 

 wool or other strong, soft twine, pruning out quite freely as 

 the vines advance in growth. By adopting this method" the 

 plants may be set much closer than in the ordinary way.
