Culture. Tomatoes will do well on al¬ 
most all kinds of soil, from a sand-bed to 
a muck-pond. To start with, the land 
should be put in good condition, and, after 
thoroughly turning it, the addition of one- 
half to a ton of hardwood ashes, broadcast 
and harrowed in, will give fine returns. 
Then lay off rows 4 to 5 feet apart, open 
a furrow, and drill in 1200 pounds of high- 
grade fertilizer and mix thoroughly with the 
soil. It is good policy to let this stand for 
three to four days, and then you are ready 
to put in your seed or set the plants. The 
seed should not be covered more than an 
inch deep. Plants should be 6 to 8 inches 
high and put in the ground nearly up to the 
bud, 1 Vi feet apart in the row, or 12 inches 
in the row if staked. 
Along the East Coast, first plantings are 
begun during July and continue until in 
December. North and Central Florida begin 
planting the latter part of December and 
continue to middle February. For a fall 
crop, plantings are made in July, August, 
and September. 
Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Marglobe. 
r* r »d P m r« (98 days.) By field- 
ppcn.piTF tests throughout the 
, , , , ^ East Coast, Manatee 
TRAII MARK County, and all toma¬ 
to-growing sections of the State, Kil¬ 
gore’s Bred-Rite Marglobe has proved 
to be the best and most desirable 
type for Florida growers. This is 
due, apparently, to several reasons; 
namely, it is more free of navel and large blossom-end 
scars; the ridging at the stem end is practically elim¬ 
inated, which means smoother and more fancy fruit, 
as this ridging usually produces growth-cracks and ill¬ 
shaped fruit. The fruits ripen to a beautiful deep 
scarlet-red color. Pkt. 5c; V 2 oz. 25c; oz. 45c; V4 lb.

When a crop is grown from Kilgore’s Crown-Selected 
Marglobe seed there can be no qustion about the re¬ 
sult, as this seed certainly is the best that most modern 
scientific methods of seed production can possibly 
develop. If there is ever a better Marglobe made, Kil¬

Cooper’s Special Self Topper. It combines the good 
qua.ities of both parent varieties. Dr. Pritchard de¬ 
scribed this new variety for us as follows: “Vines 
medium dense, compact, erect, self topping. Fruits 
mature very early, a week to ten days earlier than 
Marglobe, are large, smooth, meaty, globular in shape 
and ripen uniformly to a very deep attractive red col¬ 
or, both exterior and interior. This variety is an enor¬ 
mous producer and therefore requires rich or liberally 
fertilized moist soil.”
