No vegetable is more appetizing or wholesome than tomatoes. For early fruit the seed should be planted thinly in hot beds or in. boxes 
indoors. Harden plants by exposing to the air occasionally. It requires about six weeks’ time for the plants to become large enough for 
transplanting. One ounce will produce about 1,600 plants, 4 to 6 ounces will make sufficient plants for an acre.

large, semi-globe and regular in shape. Medi¬ 
um early and handsome deep scarlet in color.

stem to bloom end. Is a good slicer

very small core. This variety is used ex¬ 
tensively in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

fruit in clusters. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; *4 lb., 
$1.00; lb., $3.56; 5 lbs., $16.25, postpaid. Not

fruits are large smooth, red, heavily meated 
and globular in shape. It is as early as 
Earliana, 10 to 12 days earlier than Marglobe, 
and a heavier yielder than either. Nicholson’s 
New Break o’ Day is an excellent shipper. All 
tests have proven that the fruits very seldom 
crack and are not affected by sun scald ; vines 
are practically free from blossom-end rot, 
and even when planted with other sorts that 
would be affected as much as 90 per cent. 
The open spreading vine with small leaves is 
wilt resistant and sets fruits freely. We have 
received more complimentary letters from our 
customers on this tomato than any we have 
ever handled. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; *4 lb., $1.35;

variety not only on the surface but all the 
way through. It is about the same size and 
shape as Livingston’s Globe. One of the best 
features is its resistance to wilt and nail 
head rust. An excellent shipping and market
