shade and edible fruits; cream color, two to three feet long and three to four inches in diameter. Per 
pkt., 10c.; per oz., 30c.; per %-\b., 90c.; per lb., $3.00. 
Tobacco. 
Sow the seed in frames the latter part of March, or in the open ground when the soil has become 
settled and warm. Keep well watered, and when the plants are two inches high they may be transplant¬ 
ed in rows three feet apart each way. Tobacco requires a very rich, light, mellow soil. 
Connecticut Seed Leaf. The popular variety in this vicinity,l produces a very heavy crop of the fine 
broad leaves, mostly used for cigar wrappers. Per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 40c.; per *4-lb., $1.20; per lb., $4.00. 
Havana. An excellent variety; leaves narrow, long and pointed. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 40c.; 
per %-\b., $1.20; per lb.,' $4.00. 
Tomato. 
Liebesapfel — Tomatoes — Pomodoro. 
To obtain fruit very early, 
sow the seeds in greenhouse 
during February or March, or 
in hotbed when season has 
sufficiently advanced. In about 
five weeks plants should be 
transplanted to another hot¬ 
bed, until about the middle of 
May, when they may be put 
into the ground in hills, about 
four feet apart each way. The 
richer the soil the ranker will 
be the growth of the vines, 
but an ordinary warm, light 
soil, with fine, well-rotted ma¬ 
nure in the hill, and a sunny 
location, will produce the 
more handsome and plentiful 
fruit. 
Earliana. The most exten¬ 
sively grown extra early. 
Fruits medium in size, bright 
red. Vines usually through 
bearing or dead by Septem¬ 
ber first. The most important 
feature of Earliana is its ex- 
SPECIAL EARLIANA. treme earliness, with as firm 
smooth fruits as can be had, 
without sacrificing this feature. The seed we offer is a fine strain. It has been produced with care 
to combine these features to a remarkable extent. Price per oz., 35c.; per }4 - lb., $1.00; per lb., $3.50. 
Earliana Special. A very superior strain, on which has been spent much time in individual plant 
selection, resulting in greater uniformity, smoothness and productiveness than in any other strain we 
have ever seen. It is undoubtedly profitable for market growers to use such seed when obtainable. 
Price per pkt., 15c.; per oz., 70c.; per }4-lb., $2.25; per lb., $7.50. 
Pritchard. (New). A great advance in the early class. The fruits ripen with Earliana and consid¬ 
erably ahead of Bonny Best. A cross between Marglobe and Cooper’s Special by the late Dr. F. J. 
Pritchard. Fruits good size, intense scarlet and do not turn yellow or blister; similar in structure to 
Marglobe, solid, almost no core, small seed pockets; excellent in appearance and quality. The plants 
produced unusually heavy crops the past season. The Pritchard is valuable for both market and home 
use. Price per oz., 35c.; per ^-lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
Bonny Best. An early, round, smooth, bright scarlet Tomato, similar to Chalk’s Early Jewel; about a 
week earlier and slightly smaller, producing especially well the early clusters of 3 to 5 attractive, solid 
fruits. Price per oz., 35c.; per %-lb., $1.00; per lb., $3.50. 
Pkts. any variety Tomato 10c.
