A 
& M Tomatoes 
Jack O’ Harts 
Tomatoes can be grown on almost any of our California soils and are more affected by climatic conditions than by 
Vi^uiiurc soils. Success depends upon securing a rapid, vigorous and unchecked growth during the early part of the season. 
Sow in hot-beds from 6 to 8 weeks before they can be set out in the field, which is when danger from frost is past. Use two 
ounces of seed per acre. 
Transplant three to six feet apart in rows four to six feet apart, according to variety—three feet for. those varieties of 
upright growth, and six feet is not too far apart for vining varieties which soon cover the ground solidly. The soil should 
be plowed and pulverized to a depth of ten or twelve inches, the deeper the better, in order that the roots may keep in the 
cool earth, for as soon as the roots are heated by the hot, dry soil near the surface, the plant quickly sickens and dies, and 
the grower can see no cause for it. 
Many growers are now treating seed with Semesan before sowing. This helps to control diseases and develops sturdier plants. 
' Root blight may very ofien be prevented by spraying frequently with Bordeaux Mixture, beginning when the plants are 
young and continuing throughout the season. A cup full of the liquid Bordo poured around the stem of the plant where it 
will soak down to the root system is also effective. It is also a good plan to dip the roots in a solution of Bordeaux Mixture 
when transplanting. Blight may often be prevented, but it is difficult to cure. 
The time of planting and variety depend upon your local market, soil and climatic conditions, and the purpose for which 
they are grown. 
A & M MARGLOBE 
A wonderful variety thoroughly recommended for any soil or 
climatic conditions adaptable to tomato growing. It is a 
hybrid from Marvel, a government strain; the flesh is red 
and the very thin outer skin is golden. The red flesh show¬ 
ing through the golden skin produces a rich red color with a 
tinge of gold showing through. The meat is solid with very 
few seeds, non-acid, almost a globe shape, size is medium, 
averaging 7 to 9 ounces in weight, wilt resistant, excellent for 
local market, and a good shipper. Many carloads are shipped 
to Eastern markets each fall. (114 days.) (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 60c) 
('A lb. $2.00) (lb. $6.00) postpaid. 
JACK O’ HARTS 
The Sensational All-Purpose Tomato 
A great wilt-proof variety producing rich dark crimson to¬ 
matoes very uniform in size, the average weight being about 
12 ounces. It holds its good size throughout the growing season 
even after several pickings. The flesh is very solid and indi¬ 
vidual fruits weigh one-eighth more than Stone of the same 
dimensions; furthermore the skin is very firm making it a good 
shipper. It contains little or no acid and can be classified as a 
sweet tomato; is also a shy seeder. It matures a little before 
Stone and is therefore considered a late sort. One farmer re¬ 
ports a yield of over 30 tons per acre and it has proven to be 
a great success throughout the Southland as a green shipping 
variety. In fact a great majority of tomatoes shipped East 
the past season were Jack O’ Harts So far the demand has 
been greater than the supply and it will be found a great 
profit-maker to the grower and shipper. Jack O’ Harts has also 
proved a fine Tomato for greenhouse work. For this purpose 
the vines should be trimmed and the plants grown high. (116 
days.) (Pkt. 10c) (oz. $1.00) (A lb. $3.00) (lb. $10.00) postpaid. 
A&M FIRST EARLY 
We introduced this tomato in 1909 and from that time to the 
present it has superseded many early varieties throughout 
Southern Californi'a and Mexico and is constantly gaining favor 
among the important tomato growers in big producing sections, 
such as Imperial Valley, Coachella Valley, Salt River Valley of 
Arizona and other similar districts. As an early variety and 
money maker it has no equal among tomato varieties. It is 
uniform in size and packs well, making it a most desirable to¬ 
mato for the packer and shipper. It is smooth, inclined to globe 
shape, of good size, an excellent shipper and bears longer than 
any other early tomato. We cannot recommend it too highly.
