TOMATO 
CI LiTrUK. Tomato seed should be planted in a box in the house or 
in hotbeds or greenhouse about the 1st of March, then transplanted 
once or twice to develop the roots to a good size before setting out 
in the open. Do not set out until all danger of frost is passed, as 
tomatoes are easily damaged by frost.

Fertilizer for Tomatoes —Use 6-15-9 as a side-dressing 
about three times during the growing season, until to¬ 
matoes are well set. 
Earliana “Private Stock”★ 
The result of many years’ selection from the most per¬ 
fect and earliest stock. Produces more uniform fruit 
of a smooth, perfect shape than any other early variety. 
Spark’s Earliana 
One of the very earliest sorts. Fruit of fair size, 
color bright scarlet. A prolific bearer, yielding 
fruit in clusters, particularly in warm sandy soil. 
Gould’s Dwarf Giant 
Habit of growth is like the Dwarf Champion ex¬ 
cepting that fruits are much larger and meatier 
with a delicious fiavor. Matures medium early 
and continues to bear until frost. A fine tomato. 
Livingston’s Beauty^ 
One of the smoothest skinned and best of the large 
sorts. The vines are large, vigorous and very pro¬ 
ductive. The fruit is large, uniform in size and 
very smooth. The skin is purplish-pink and flesh 
is pink; very solid and fine flavored. A fine variety 
for medium early or for main crop. A splendid 
sort for slicing. 
Stone* 
This is one of the most popular of the late varie¬ 
ties. It is a good late canning tomato and is 
grown in some sectionS^as a market garden variety. 
The plants are strong and vigorous and produce 
a heavy yield of fruit where the growing season 
is long. The fruit is bright red in color, of good 
size, smooth, round, meaty and fine flavor. 
Pritchard 
This new variety, introcfuced by the U. S. Dept, of 
Agriculture, is from tlj,eir experiments, the most 
perfect disease; wilt arid rust resisting tomato. 
The fruits are scarlet, large, globe-shaped and 
very attractive. Pritchard matures as early as 
Bonny Best and is highly recommended for both 
home and market garden. 
Bonny Best* (Certified) 
A very popular second early variety. Ripens a few days 
later than Earliana. Vines are vigorous, prolific, fruit red. 
solid, medium in size, smooth, small core and very uniform 
in size and color. A very popular variety for early market 
and also a good home garden tomato. 
Oxheart* 
Fruit is large and very solid with few seeds. It is heart- 
shaped, the skin pink, and the fiavor delicious. Use for second 
early and main crop. 
Gould’s Early Standard* 
Gould’s Early Standard Tomato is the re¬ 
sult of many years of experimenting to ob¬ 
tain a meaty, heavy bearing tomato, that 
would produce early and continue to bear 
fruit until frost. 
It has no equal for the home garden, or 
for market, being an excellent keeper and 
shipper, fruit being firm, coloring beautifully, 
producing abundantly from early summer 
till frost. F'lavor is unsurpassed. Unexcelled 
for canning. 
No expense has been spared to make 
Gould’s Early Standard the best tomato 
grown anywhere. 
Marglobe* 
A new blight resistant tomato produced un¬ 
der the direction of Dr. P. J. Pritchard of 
the United States Bureau of Plant Industry. 
The plants are very disease resistant. It pro¬ 
duces immense yields of handsome deep red 
globe-shaped tomatoes, of good size with a 
flavor that is a happy medium between the 
acid and non-acid sorts. The shape and size 
make this a very desirable salad or slicing 
tomato.
