TOmflTO 



CULTURE. — The seed should be sown about J^ inch deep during March or early April in a hotbed, greenhouse, or window 

 of a room, where a night temperature of not less than 60 degrees is kept. When the plants are about two inches high, they 

 should be set out three inches apart in boxes three inches deep, or potted into three-inch pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. 



They are sometimes shifted a second lime into larger pots, by which process the plants are rendered more sturdy and branching. A bout the middle of May 



in this latitude, the plants may be set in the open ground. 



885 EARLIANA 



This is still the best extra early Tomato for the 

 family garden, as it bears a very heavy crop quite 

 early in the season. It has excellent flavor and is 

 remarkably solid. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; J4 lb., SI. 75. 



877 BONNY BEST 



Large Size Tomatoes Bright Scarlet in Color 



Bonny Best is decidedly the "best" in its class. 

 It is almost as early as Earliana; and is a larger 

 tomato, and a heavier cropper. The fruits are deep 

 scarlet in color, very smooth, perfectly round, solid 

 and meaty. Bonny Best is also an excellent variety 

 for the canner, as it yields from 12 to 15 tons to the 

 acre. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; M lb., $1.75. 



878 BREAK-O'-DAY 



A Solid Extra Early Variety — Disease Resistant 



It is a cross between Marglobe and another 

 variety, not as yet introduced to commerce. It is 

 greatly disease-resistant and is the same shape, color 

 and size as Marglobe but much more solid; and to 

 crown all is 10 to 12 days earlier in ripening. This 

 means that Break-O'-Day will ripen along with 

 Bonny Best and the other extra early tomatoes, 

 but excels them in size, soliditv and seedlessness. 



Price, pkt., 20c; oz., 80c; M "lb., $2.50. 



893 GLOBE 



This variety is glossy pink with purple tinge. It 

 is distinctly globe shaped, large size, and of the 

 finest quality, making it very desirable for slicing. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; M lb., S1.75. 



894 MARGLOBE Resists Rust and Wilt 



Almost round; of large size, and bright red color. It J 

 is one of the most productive tomatoes in cultivation. 



Marglobe is early and continues bearing over a long 

 period of time. It possesses a delicious flavor, it is 

 attractive and it is immune to wilt. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c; M lb., $2.00. 



901 RUTGERS 



For the Home Garden, Market and Canning 



This new variety developed by the New Jersey 

 Agricultural Experiment Station produces a sturdy 

 plant with thick stem and an abundance of foliage to 

 protect the fruits from sunscald. The fruits are large 

 and similar in shape to Marglobe but ripen earlier and 

 are of a bright scarlet color. The flesh is firm and red 

 throughout which makes it an ideal canning and juice 

 tomato. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 90c; M lb.. $2.50. 



905 THE PRITCHARD 

 or SCARLET TOPPER 



For its disease resistant qualities, it supersedes all 

 others. The vines are very sturdy in growth — shorter 

 than the Marglobe — and they produce the heaviest 

 crops of any of its class. 



Unlike other early varieties. Scarlet Topper continues 

 to bear long after the other sorts have ceased. The 

 fruits are large, from 3 to 3 Vi inches in diameter, and 

 perfectly globe shaped. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 75c; yi lb., $2.00. 



906 STONE 



One of the popular main crop varieties. The plant is 

 a strong grower, is very prolific and produces a crop of 

 large, smooth fruits almost round in shape, very deep 

 and slightly flattened at base and top. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; M lb.. $1.75.
