Tomato Plants 
Q^^^^>^ This well known 
P^W^^y summer fruit is fast 
^■B m\ becoming a staple 
■ ■ article of diet in 
Montana. With the 
exception of the 
higher altitudes, 
they can be readily 
grown and with suc- 
cess. As a staple ar- 
ticle, they should be 
grown far more 
than they are, large 
as is the quantity 
now planted. As in 
I older sections of tlie 
icountry, in - most 
jjiarts of Montana, it 
1 vill be found prac- 
Lical to grow suffic- 
ient quantities of 
this delicious and 
healthful fruit for 
canning purposes, as 
well as for fresli ta- 
ble consumption. 
Number of plants 
required per acre — 
Stalted or uprigiit 
method, 3 feet in the 
row and 5 feet be- 
tween rows — 2904. 
Pot grown plants while more e.\pensive are far more satisfac- 
tory, and when only a few are to be planted we strongly advise 
the pot grown, as they will under normal conditions produce 
far more fruit and produce it earlier, a most decided advantage 
in regious wliere early frosts prevail. 
We list the following varieties as being suited to our climate- 
Jolin Baer — The earliest and best. By far the leading variety for 
Montana. 
Bonny Best — Another good early sort. 
Acme — An old standard. 
Earliana — Fruit large. 
Montana Beauty — Large and good flavor. 
Golden Queen — Solid, smooth and best of the yellow varieties

Cabbage Plants 
With perhaps tlie exception of the extremely high altitudes, 
Montana can produce as many pounds of this necessary vegetable 
to the acre as almost any state in the Union. To secure the best 
and quickest results Irrigation is necessary on dry lands. Too 
much water, will, however, result in "splitting." The varieties we 
lisi below are those whicli have proven the best both in weight
