Culture. — For early plants sow in hotlxnls 

 early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and }/'> 

 inch deep; when -the plants are about 2 inches 

 hiojh, transplant into another hotbed 4 inches 

 apart each way; plant out in the open ground 

 early in May or as soon as danger from frost is 

 over, 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should 

 have a shovelful of well-rotted niaiuire mixed 

 with the soil. Water freely at time of trans- 

 planting; when the first fruit is set, nincli off the 

 ends of the branches to obtain e:irl\' !ruil. Suf- 

 ficient plants for asmall gard'.Mi can be f^rown in 

 a shallow box or large flower \)\ placing it 

 in a sunny window in a warm room or kitchen. 

 For late use sow in a sheltered border in May 

 and set out the plants in July; the green fruit 

 can be picked off before frost and ripened under 

 glass. By training the vines on trellises or tying 

 to stakes, the fruit will ripen better and be of 

 finer quality. 



Schultz^s Early Splendid ^ 



valuable Early Purple Tomato in existence. 

 An extra good all-around sort. We class it 

 among the first to ripen its fruit. It has 

 large size, is always smooth, of firm flesh, and 

 is exceedingly productive. In color it is a fine 

 glossy rose, tinged with purple. It stands 

 alone with its distinct, delicious flavor, being 

 mild and pleasant, unsurpassed for slicing. 

 One other attractive feature of this Tomato is 

 that it is almost immune from blight. Its 

 blight-proof qualities are remarkable. Schultz's 

 Early Splendid Tomato is splendid indeed. (See 

 cut above.) Pkt. 5c. and 10c. , 3^ oz. 20c., oz. 35c., 



Schultz's New Faultless 



Introduced by 

 us in 1909. A 

 second-early variety. One of the grandest Tomatoes 

 recenth^ introduced, color rich, soft pink, similar to 

 our New Splendid, heavy cropper, round in shape, 

 flesh very firm, large size, fine flavor. Ripens evenly 

 to the stem, is a strong, healthy grower, not subject 

 to rust or blight, and produces until the vines are 

 killed by frost, holding its size exceedingly well until 

 the last picking. Pkt. 5c. and 10c. , oz. 30c., 34 lb.

Livingston's Beauty 



'Bonny Best'' Early ^^^^ 



"Bonny Best" Early Tomato 



days earli- 

 er than Chalk's Early Jewel, and with- 

 in two or three days as early as Earli- 

 ana. It is a vigorous grower, enor- 

 mously prolific, with larger foliage than 

 the Earliana, which will protect the 

 fruit from the hot sun, on days when 

 early varieties with less foliage would 

 scald. In shape it is roundish and 

 slightly flattened at the stem end but 

 thicker through than most other To- 

 matoes in its class. In color it is a 

 beautiful scarlet red; setting its fruit 

 in clusters of five or more at close in- 

 tervals. When ripening, each set ripens 

 nearly all at once, and ripens evenly all 

 oyer up to the stem. Makes a mag- 

 nificent variety for slicing; its greatest 

 characteristic is its uniformity of size 

 and smoothness in shape. A good early 

 red skin variety for all purposes. Pkt. 

 5c. and lOc, K oz. 20c., oz. 30c., H lb. 

 $1.00, lb. $3.50.
