 ripening earlier. It is very prolific, has thick walls, 

 bright scarlet color and ripens well up to the stern. 

 The vines are of medium growth and fairly open. It is 

 a variety that should be in every garden. Pkt. 10 cts.;

CULTURE. The seed may be started in hotbed in March, or suffi- 

 cient 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, selecting good soil in 

 a location much exposed to the sun and sheltered by a hill or woods 

 on the north.
