TOMATO 
(2tebefat)fet) 
HOW TO GROW TOMATOES. — ^Plan to grow an early crop and a main or general crop. For market or your own use, the 
idea of an early Tomato is to have it as early as possible. The early varieties are all small fnjits compared with the main-crop 
sorts; so do not expect large early Tomatoes. It is well to grow several early and several late sorts if there is room enough. For 
early crop, sow the seed in February or March in greenhouse, hotbeds, or in boxes in the house for home-gardens. When plants 
are 2 inches high, transplant them indoors, giving room between the plants as they are short and stallty. If they are too close, 
they get long and *'spindly." Set plants out as soon as soil is in condition and there is no danger of freezing. They may also be 
grown in pots in the house, then set out when in blossom. For main crop, start seed two to four weeks later, transplant, then set 
out. When it can be done, we advise supporting plants on stalces, racks, or trellises. They do better, are more easily cultivated, 
and continue to yield longer. Grow King-of-AU as one of your main-crop varieties. One oimce will produce about 3,000 plants. 
My Tomato seed is saved from perfect-type fruits, and if your soil is rigiit, the weather conditions at all 
favorable, and you give the growing plants the attention they deserve, you will obtain a crop of the most excellent 
fruits of any of the varieties I offer. It stands the severest test of the most critical market-gardeners. You will 
thoroughly agree with this if you sow my seed. 
New King-of-AU Tomato (See illustration on back cover page) 
It is a main-crop variety; the photograph gives you the exact size which they average. Note how thiclc through, 
denoting value for slicing. The fruits are smooth and ripen quickly right up to the stem, thus giving it an ex- 
tremely rich appearance, for its color is a very deep, rich red and it sells on sight. The wonderful yield of the 
King-of-All> Tomato is its greatest value. It .starts off rather early in the season with plants crowded full of clus- 
ters of the most beautiful fruits and continues to bear them until stopped by the grower or by frost. I am very 
anxious to have all my customers grow the King-of-AU Tomato. Pkt. 10 cts., V202. 40 cts., oz. 75 cts., Vilb.

Schell'S Quality Largest Earlu. ''^his is without exception the grandest early Tomato (not 
; — — ~ extra-early, such as Firstearly. but following it) In cultivation. 
In size they are as large as Matchless, but far superior. The fruits are thick through, more globe-shaped than any 
other large Tomato; from side to side it is almost all solid, meaty flesh, with scarcely any seeds; they are as smooth 
as an apple and ripen evenly all over and up to the stem a beautiful bright crimson with not a shade or tinge of 
purple. My Quality Largest Early yields enormously and continuously until killed by freezing weather in the fall.
