TOMATO (sick§5fpM) 



One ounce will produce about 2000 plants. 



Culture. — For early plants sow in hotbeds 

 •early in March, in drills 5 inches npart and 

 inch deep; when the plants aie about 2 inches 

 high, transplant into another hotbed 4 inches 

 apart each way; plant out in the open ground 

 €arly in May or as soon as danger from frost is 

 over, 4 feet apart each waj' in hills, which should 

 have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed 

 with the soil, ^^'ater freely at time of trans- 

 planting; Avlien the first fiuit is set, pinch off the 

 ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Suf- 

 ficient plants for a small garden can be grown in 

 a shallow box or large flower pot by 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 frviit 

 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 quahty. 



Schultz's Early Splendid ^^^^^e 



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 wdth 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. Sehultz's 

 Early Splendid Tomato is splendid indeed. (See 

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

Introduced by 

 us in 1909. A 



second-early variety. One of the grandest Tomatoes 

 recently 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

"Bonny Best'VEarly It 



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 

 fmit 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.
