TOMATO (Sie6c#-3tpfel) 



One ounce will produce about 2000 plants. 

 Culture. — For early plants sow in hotbeds 

 early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and 3^ 

 inch deep; when the plants are about 2 inches 

 high, 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 hiUs, which should 

 have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed 

 with the soil. Water freely at time of trans- 

 planting; when the first fruit 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 Tv^ndow 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 J 



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, dehcious flavor, being 

 mild and pleasant, unsurpassed for slicing. 

 One other attractive feature of this Tomato is 

 that it is 'almost immune from blight. Its 

 bhght-proof quahties are remarkable. Sehultz's 

 Early Splendid Tomato is splendid indeed. (See 

 cut above.) Pkt. 5c. and lOc, }/2 oz. 15c., oz. 25c.,

"Bonny Best" Early 



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 proKfic, with larger foliage than 

 the Earliana, which will protect the 

 fruit from the hot sun, on days when 

 early varieties with less fohage would 

 scald. In shape it is roundish and 

 shghtly 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- 

 terv^als. When ripening, each set ripens 

 nearly all at once, and ripens evenly all 

 over up to the stem. Makes a mag- 

 nificent variety for shcing; its greatest 

 characteristic is its uniformity of size 

 and smoothness in shape. A good early 

 red skin variety for all piirposes. Pkt.
