TOMATO 
CULTURE. —To have plants ready for setting as soon as danger 
of frost is past, sow the seed inside in boxes or under glass about 6 weeks 
before the time desired to set them out. After the weather turns warm, 
transplant, and set in raised hills about 4 feet each way. Fertilize well 
and cultivate as long as possible. To make very early Tomatoes, grow 
the plants in small pots and transplant to larger pots as the plants 
grow, until the weather is warm enough to set outside. One ounce of 
seed will produce about 1,500 plants. 
ACME. —One of the earliest and best purple sorts, of medium size, 
perfectly smooth, very solid and a great bearer; crimson color with 
pinkish cast. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; 34 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00. 
CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL. —An extremely early variety of bright¬ 
est scarlet color, deep fruited, very hardy and solid, with few seeds and 
of excellent flavor. The popular early variety. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 
cts.; 34 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00. 
MATCHLESS. —One of the best main-crop tomatoes. The solidity, 
absence of core, size and color of the fruit, together with its freedom 
from rot, all unite in making this well worthy of the name of ‘‘Match¬ 
less." Fine both for private and market gardening and canning.
