THE GREAT 

 CANNER. 



FOR Early Fruit 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 or transplanting, 

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

 established. Sufficient 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 plant up with 

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

 the vines advance in growth. By adopting this method the 

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

"Florida. Jan. 10th r 1902. 



"Messrs. Griffith & Turner Co. 



"Tour Tomato Seed was recommended to me by J. S. An- 

 drew, who had it last year, and it was as fine as I ever saw. 



"JOHN W. WALKER." 



The gentleman who superintended the growing of this seed 

 for us says : "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 with- 

 out 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 

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

 Tomato."
