TOMATO 
One method to grow early Tomatoes is to plant strong, healthy 
plants of a good early variety, about lYz feet apart, in rows 
about 3 feet apart, then, at the same time set along side each 
plant a fairly heavy stake. A Tonkin cane, 3 ft. long and 
Ya to 34 inch thick is good. As the plant grows, the main or 
center stem should be tied loosely with Raffia to the stake and all 
side-shoots or suckers trimmed off. When 5 or 6 flower clusters 
are set, the top of the plant should also be taken off, but one 
leaf must be left over the top flower. That way there will 
not be so many Tomatoes on the plants, as when letting it grow 
its own way, but the tomatoes will mature much earlier and 
the fruit will be perfect. If more than 3 or 6 clusters are 
wanted from a plant, the two bottom side branches can be left 
growing and tied on the stake, and stopped when 3 clusters 
are set. Varieties are listed as to their earliness, the earliest first.

Forcing strain for Greenhouses, disease resistant, very heavy 
bearer, fruit rather small, but extra good quality. Danish 
Greenhouse grown seed. 
723 Danish Export .10 .60 . 
Medium to small size fruit of extra fine quality, very heavy 
bearer. Good for Greenhouse growing and out-doors in the 
north. 
724 Comet Improved .10 .60 . 
Larger than Danish Export. Used to be the main Greenhouse 
Tomato in England, but now superceded by Condine. 
727 Best of All. 25 1.25 . 
Newer English variety, larger fruits. 
730 Special Earliana .10 .75 . 
Does not resemble Earliana in any way but the name and 
earliness. The fruit is almost round, does not crack, is more 
firm. We can highly recommend this strain.
