THE GREAT 

 CANNER. 



IT is scarcely necessary to speak of this GREAT TOMATO 

 among those who have used it, because they have becomt 

 our best advertisers, constantly praising, and persuading 

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

 creased each year far beyond our expectation. It is with 

 out exception one of the best for Canners, Market Gardener? 

 or private use, because of its solidity, symmetrical shape 

 handsome bright red color, uniformity of ripening and freedon- 

 from rot. Its shipping and keeping qualities are unexcelled 

 The gentleman who superintends the grovi'ing of this seed for 

 us says: "I desire to call especial attention to this stock; it if 

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

 smooth and certainly attractive. I venture to say without feai 

 of contradiction that your Tomato will honr olf the palm foi 

 quality and flavor in the hands of imiiartinl judges. Parties' 

 around here who saw some of tlie fruit said they had nevet 

 seen any better Tomato." We could get any number of test) 

 menials to bear us out in all we say about this excellen' 

 Tomato.

BEWARE OF CHEAI* TOMATO SEEDS, saved in canning houses, as it is sure to be a mixture of different sorts. 

 We take special care in growing- our Tomato Seeds. We 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- 

 l>ared to offer our customers Seed of the lirst quality. 



FOR Eably FnuiT 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 

 pots, 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. Sufiicient plants for a small garden may be had 

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

 placing in a sunny window in the house. Cultivate tl 

 oughly as long as the vines will permit. 



Tomatoes will admit of training to stakes or trellis of v 

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

 pearance and quality. This mode of cultivation is now qi 

 common among gardeners who grow for early market. ' 

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

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

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

 the Tines advance in growth. By adopting this method 

 p^ntfe may be set much closer than in the ordinary way.
