Burpee’s Tomatoes 
What is more attractive either 
as a salad or for garnishing 
than luscious juicy Toma¬ 
toes? They may be used in 
innumerable ways—by them¬ 
selves or combined with 
other vegetables or meats. 
Tomatoes are exceedingly 
wholesome, rich in vitamins, 
and valuable as an appetizing 
dish in a great variety of 
forms. Start the seed indoors 
during February or March, and 
set out after all danger of frost 
has passed. Tomatoes do best in 
a rich, well-manured soil. For a 
continuous supply include early, 
midseason, and late varieties in 
your planting. The early varieties 
(E) mature in 85 to 95 days, the mid¬ 
season or second-early varieties (M) 
in 96 to 105 days, the late or main-crop 
varieties (L) in 110 to 120 days.
