36 GARDEN SEEDS _ RUSSELL-HECKLE _ MEMPHIS, TENN. 
R.-H. Co.’s Top Notch Tomatoes 
Culture—The seed should be sown in March in a hotbed or greenhouse, or may be sown in a box and kept inside the 
window of a room where the night temperature is not less than 65 degrees. The plants should be thinned out in the bed »o 
as to give them plenty of room or they will be weak and poor. About the middle of April the plants may be set in the 
open ground from 4 to 5 feet apart each way. One ounce produces about 1,500 plants. To prevent rot and blight on toma¬ 
to plants, spray them with Pyrox when first fruits have set. 
The Perry County Tomato 
The New Perry County Tomato originated from a single plant in Flor¬ 
ida. The plants are more vigorous than ordinary varieties, one on trellis 
reaching 16% feet (see cut). 
The fruit is of superior quality, being very heavy, solid and smooth, of 
highest color, slicing the same high color clear across with but little 
trace of a core. The seeds are smaller and fewer. Its vigor keeps it grow¬ 
ing and bearing until November freeze when it has still a large crop. 
Two patches 1-10 of an acre each bore over 4,000 lbs. of fruit. The high 
quality of the fruit we believe is a greater recommendation even than its 
vigor or prolificacy. 
The plant is blight proof, healthy and remains green and is full of fine 
fruit from early set plants up to frost. 
The new variety is strictly Southern grown and being acclimated, it 
will stand all season and make full crop where the Northern varieties do 
not. 
Mr. D. W. Ulken, Manager of the Gayoso Farms, Horn Lake. Miss., who 
has tried the Perry County tomato writes as follows: “In my judgment 
this tomato is far superior to any that I have ever known in yield, as well 
as firmness and flavor. It is outstanding inasmuch a* 
it has very few seeds which are small.”

County Tomato this season. We know you will be

Tomatoes grow splendidly trained 
to stakes or trellises. The fruit is 
much Improved, not only in ap¬ 
pearance, but in quality, and is a 
week or more earlier. 
The usual method is to set one 
strong plant to a stake 5 to 7 feet 
high, tying the plant up with soft 
twine, and pruning quite freely as 
the vine advances in growth. For 
fine, large specimens of high color, 
grow the clusters of the fruit in 
paper sacks, as is commonly 
practiced by grape-growers. These 
paper sacks or bags should be put 
on when the Tomatoes are about 
three-fourths grown.
