TOMATO 
Culture .— The tomato is raised from seed, 
which should be sown in the hotbed about 
February 20, and continuous sowing made until 
April 1, according as the plants are wanted for 
use. When the plants are about 2 inches high, 
transplant to 4 inches apart, and, after three or 
four weeks, transplant from the hotbed into a 
coldframe, setting the plants 8 inches apart each 
way. (A coldframe is simply a low wooden frame 
covered with glass, used to protect such plants as 
are not sufficiently hardy to withstand our win¬ 
ters.) Keep the plants cool, so as to make them 
stocky. Set out in the open ground about June 1, 
in well enriched soil, setting the plants 5 feet 
apart each way. 
One ounce will produce 2,500 plants 
Earliana Tomato 
SIX UNEXCELLED TOMATOES 
Break O’ Day. A new disease-resistant red tomato from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. On the order of 
Marglobe but of more open spreading habit of growth; nearly two weeks earlier than the Marglobe with fruit 
of equal size, exceedingly productive and bound to be one of the most popular, early, commercial tomatoes. 
Earliana. The most productive, first early red tomato and a profitable sort for the home or market garden. Vines 
are small but vigorous; fruits medium to large in size, nearly globe shaped, exceptionally smooth and solid; color 
bright, deep scarlet. 
June Pink. The description given above for Earliana applies equally well to this variety, for they are quite 
identical except in color, June Pink being purplish-pink. 
Globe (Livingston’s). The most popular main crop variety with southern truckers; very vigorous, productive and 
fairly early; fruit globe shaped, smooth and solid; color purplish-pink. 
Oxheart. Produces large purple fruits of “ oxheart ” form and has decidedly small seed cells containing a very 
few seed. Fruits are very solid and frequently weigh one and one-half pounds. 
Ponderosa. A very desirable, large, purple fruited tomato for home use. While the fruit is exceptionally large 
it is one of the most solid, having few seeds; for slicing and table use has no equal.
