is of globe shape with a rich purple top and light yellow below the 
ground. The quality is fine; very tender, and without the stringy na¬ 
ture common in some sorts. A valuable stock food and is used as a 
table variety by many. Fkt., 5c; oz., 10c; \4 lb., 20c; lb., 60c.

One ounce will produce about 2000 plants. 
Sow in hotbed or window box in March, in rows 3 inches apart and 114

April. When seedlings are 3 inches high, transplant to 4 inches apart 
each way either in other hotbeds, in cold frames, or singly in 3-inch 
pots. Harden plants by exposing to the air occasionally. After warm 
weather is settled, about May 1 in the latitude of Canton, set out

BREAK O’ DAY. Here is a Tomato which is a rare development com¬ 
bining the good qualities of the parent stocks, Marvana and Marglobe. 
To the late Dr. Fred Pritchard of the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
we are indebted for the breeding of this fine Tomato, and from whom 
our original seed stock was obtained. The fruit is extremely early, 
smooth, true globe-shaped, red, solid with few seeds. The vines are 
sturdy and wilt resistant and bear heavily. Our representative at¬ 
tending the Ohio State trials at Marietta, Ohio, found the gardeners 
most enthusiastic about Break o’ Day Tomato this year. Fkt., 10c; V\ 
oz., 15c; 14, oz., 25c; oz., 45c; % lb., $1.40; lb., $5.00. 
CERTI-TRUE BREAK O’ DAY. This represents the highest type it has 
thus far been our privilege to handle. Fkt., 15c; 14 oz., 25c; *4 oz., 40c; 
oz., 75c; y* lb., $2.75; lb., $10.00. 
HOLMES’ EVERBEARING. This wonderfully fine, large, early To¬ 
mato has become very popular with Tomato growers. Its fruits are 
red, nearly globular in shape, slightly flattened, very smooth, ripens 
well around the stem end, and does not crack as badly as other early 
sorts. Sets and bears in clusters, producing a very heavy crop. 
Holmes’ Everbearing is very desirable for its yield, form, solidity and 
market quality. You will not make a mistake by planting Elverbear¬ 
ing. Fkt., 15c; 14 oz., 20c; 14 oz., 35c; oz., 65c; 14 lb., $2.15; lb., $7.50. 
EABLIANA (Penn State). This strain of Earliana was developed by 
Dr. C. E. Myers at the Pennsylvania State college. It has been selected 
for extra-early maturity, large size of the red fruits, even shape, 
smoothness and productiveness. We anticipate that Penn State will 
supersede the other Earliana strains. Our seed has been produced di¬ 
rectly from the original stock. Fkt., 5c; 14 oz., 20c; oz., 30c; V4 lb., 
$1.00; lb., $3.50. 
MARGLOBE. The best general purpose Tomato, introduced by the late 
Dr. Fred J. Pritchard of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Partic¬ 
ularly valuable for shipping; for both home and market; disease-re¬ 
sistant. Plants thrifty and heavily productive, of long-bearing period. 
Fruits medium early, deep scarlet, large, uniformly globe-shaped, 
smooth, solid and of distinct quality. You will do well to try this new 
sort. Our original stock seed was sent to us by the U. S. Dept, of Ag¬ 
riculture. Fkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 20c; oz., 35c; 14 lb., $1.15; lb., $4.00.

oz., 40c; oz., 75c; 14 lb., $2.75; lb., $10.00. 
BONNY BEST. An excellent early sort for home and market; val¬ 
uable for forcing under glass. The fruits ripen only a week later 
than Earliana. Plants produce enormous crops of beautiful, smooth, 
scarlet red, flattened globe-shaped fruits which are very firm. The 
seed was inspected by the Dept, of Agriculture and certificate granted 
showing purity of type and freedom from disease. Fkt., 5c; 14 oz., 
20c; oz., 30c; 14 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50.

mense crops of large, smooth, handsome fruits, and is one of the best 
for market and canning purposes. By careful selection our stock has 
been greatly improved since first introduced. You will find our stock 
of the very highest quality. Fkt., 5c; *4 oz., 20c; oz., 30c; 14 lb., $1.00;
