Tomatoes represent another important member of the 

 vegetable family. Every garden should have at least one 

 dozen plants, and more if space will allovs^, as any surplus 

 fruit may easily be canned. Do not overlook the small- 

 fruited sorts — these make delicious tomato butter. 



CTJIiT'D'BE. The seed may be started in hotbed in March, or 

 sufFicient plants for family use can be grown in pots or boxes 

 indoors with very little trouble. Be particular to give plants the 

 benefit of fresh air and sun whenever judicious, for the purpose 

 of hardening them, and cover with mats when necessary to 

 prevent them from frosting. The two extremes of heat and cold 

 are equally injurious. It is customary with the best gardeners 

 to remove the plants from hotbeds to the cold frames, allowing 

 a distance of several inches between the plants. In May select 

 and prepare the soil and set the plants 3 feet each way. Hoe 

 and draw earth to the stems. When the plants crowd, the fruit 

 will be small. Have the soil very rich. For general crop sow 

 from the middle of April or during May, in the open air, select- 

 ing good soil in a location much exposed to the sun and sheltered 

 b.v a hill or woods on the north.

Bolgiano's "Glory" Tomato. Outyields and outsells 

 any Tomato on the market. The yield of "Glory" Tomato 

 is marvelous. Produces at every joint large clusters of good 

 size, smooth, firm, beautifully shaped fruits, uniform in 

 shape, color and size. At times the vines are so full that 

 they can hardly hold all the fruit that they produce. They 

 ripen evenly and color up well. Keep vigorous and green 

 until frost and are then full of fruit. Pkt. 10 and 15 cts.; 

 oz. $1.50; % lb. $5.00; lb. $15.00. 



155. "Bonny Best" Early. For ten years it has been 

 selected for earliness, solidity, smoothness and evenness of 

 ripening up to stem. 15 days earlier than the Beauty To- 

 mato, and nearly as early as the Earliana. Vigorous grower; 

 bright red color, enormously productive, with a vigorous 

 growth of foliage which protects the fruit from being scalded 

 by the direct sun. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; 54 'b. 

 $1.15; lb. $4.00. 



I. X. L. Bolgiano's Extremely Early Tomato. Early, 



largest, most prolific. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; 

 54 lb. $1.25; lb. $4.50. 



The Bolglano 

 Tomato. 



The Bolgiano Tomato. The most wonderful yielder 

 ever known, two weeks earlier than the Earliana. First 

 fruit as good as the prime of the season. A solid mass of 

 red, meaty flesh. Skin tough, flesh tender and sweet. 

 Stands long-distance shipping perfectly. See description on 

 page 3. Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1.25; oz. $2.25; 14 lb, 

 $7.50; lb. $25.00. 



1 68. Red Cross Blight Resistant Tomato, its chief 



advantage is that the vines are resistant to both rust and 

 wilt to a remarkable degree. It has very strong, healthy 

 vines. Thus it becomes a more prolific bearer than other 

 varieties, and the rich scarlet fruit continue to be borne 

 throughout a longer season. Its beautifully shaped fruit 

 and regularity of size particularly recommend it for the 

 most particular market trade, while its thick, juicy meat 

 and small sparsely seeded cavities will please tue most par- 

 ticular appetite. As a variety for both home and commer- 

 cial use, we feel it has no peer. It is medium in its season.' 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 75 cts.; V4, lb. $2.75; lb. $10.00. 



2 12. John Baer Tomato. (SPECIALTY, see page 3.)

38. Spark's Earliana.

 color and qual- 

 ity. It is beau- 

 tiful red and 

 ripens thor- 

 oughly, even to 

 he stem end.
