Tomatoes 
CULTURE—1 oz. for 4,000 plants. 
Sow in hot beds about March 1st, in rows 3 inches apart, 
transplant when 2 inches high in cold frames. When plants 
are about 6 inches high set into the field, the early varieties 
in rows 4 feet apart and 3 feet in the rows and the late 
varieties, such as Si one or Greater Baltimore, 5 feet apart 
and 4 feet apart in the rows. 
In the North it is advisable to tie plants to poles or trellis 
and prune the vines to some extent, so as to allow all light 
possible and hasten the crop to maturity. Tomatoes tied to 
stakes can be as close as two feet apart each way. 
Tomatoes will give a heavy crop on any fairly good soil. 
On freshly manured ground tomatoes make a heavy growth 
of vines, but the ripening of fruit is retarded. Never plant 
tomatoes after potatoes as bugs are sure to appear and 
damage the crop. Read the description of Tomato Earliana. 
Dwarf Perfection 
DWARF PERFECTION TOMATO 
Fruit large, smooth, almost globe shaped, bright scarlet, 
very meaty and of high quality. Ripens to the stem, has 
tough skin and is a first rate shipper. Vines potato leaved, 
short, very vigorous and healthy. Medium early. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 40c; lb. $4.00. 
TOMATO EARLIANA 
Our strain is extra choice. Fruit as smooth and as free 
from cracks as can be expected, large and bright red. In our 
trials, our strain proved absolutely superior and we have 
tried many strains, some pretty high priced among them. 
To get a heavy crop of high quality tomatoes ahead of 
others, you must grow Earliana in heavily manured ground. 
Use well rotted manure and prepare your ground in the fall 
whenever possible. You must stake the plants, because 
when plants are left laying on the ground the fruit develops 
a green spot where it touches the ground. Do not use 
manure for other varieties of tomatoes except Bonny Best 
and Break O’ Day. Both these varieties do much better when 
grown on manured ground. Otherwise the rule is for all 
tomatoes: no fresh manure. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; lb. $3.00. 
TOMATO CLARK’S EARLY 
An extra early sort, ripening with Bonny Best, unusually

ductive. The percentage of culls is very small. A coming

HAVE YOU university education? If you have and if 
you had 100 university educations, you would not be really 
educated unless you understand MONEY. A newspaper man 
regarded by many as an extremely smart man, writing for 
a chain of newspapers, repeatedly states in his newspaper 
column that nobody understands money. Well! If nobody 
understood money, the fix the world would find itself in 
would be the same as when people could not understand 
each other in every day conversation. It is EXTREMELY 
important to understand money. You will understand money, 
you also will understand WHY the depression is on, why so 
many are near starvation, in short you will get wise and 
you will know a great deal more than you may know now, 
if you will read “The Book,” which we will mail to you for 
only 25 cents.
