Culture. — For early plants sow in hotbeds early 

 in March, in drills 5 inches apart and ^ 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 

 hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted 

 manure mixed with the soil. Water freely at time 

 of transplanting; when the first fruit is set, pinch 

 off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. 

 Sufficient 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 fruit can be picked 

 off before frost and ripened under glass. By train- 

 ing the vines on trellises or tying to stakes, the fruit 

 will ripen better and be of finer quality. 



Schultz's Early Splendid ^V^! 



uable 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 dis- 

 tinct, 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 re- 

 markable. Schultz's Early Splendid Tomato 

 is splendid indeed. (See cut.) Pkt. 5c, and 10c,
