TOMATO SEED 



LiEBESAPFEL, Ger. 



I DO NOT USE CANNING FACTORY SEED 



One ounce will produce 2,000 plants 

 For early plants sow in hot-beds early in March, In drills 5 inches apart and % inch deep; when the plants 

 are about 2 inches high, transplant into another hot-bed 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 liitchen. 

 For late use sow in a sheltered border in May and set out the plants in July; the green fruit can be plcl^ed 

 off before frost and ripened under glass. By training the vines on trellises or tying to stake, the fruit will 

 ripen better and be of finer quality.

A new second early variety 

 of great merit. Sure to 

 please all who plant it. A 

 healthy, vigorous grower. 

 Exceedingly prolific. Color 

 rich pink. 



One of the grandest Tomatoes 

 recently Introduced, color rich,, 

 soft pink, similar to my New 

 Splendid, heavy cropper, round 

 in shape, flesh very firm, large 

 size, fine flavor. A leading fea- 

 ture of this superb variety is that 

 it ripens its fruit more uniformly 

 together than any known kind, 

 whilst its profusion of clusters 

 averaging eight and ten large 

 evenly formed clusters each» 

 makes it conspicuously handsome. 

 Ripens evenly to the stem, is a 

 strong, healthy grower, not sub- 

 ject to rust or blight, is an enor- 

 mous cropper, and produces until 

 the vines are killed by frost, hold- 

 ing its size exceedingly well until 

 the last picking. Quality the very 

 best, very solid and meaty. It Is 

 in every way a desirable variety 

 for market gardners, as its beau- 

 tiful appearance always insures 

 an extra price. An excellent sort 

 for late summer and fall. Pkt.,
