TOMATOES 
Earliana 
EARLIANA— It is a full week ahead of 
of all others. Plants of strong growth and 
very productive. Fruits large, deep red, and 
of superior quality. Smooth and free from 
cracks. Oz., 20c; ^4 lb., 75c. 
MARGLOBE —A main-crop, scarlet-fruit¬ 
ed variety. Introduced by the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture for wilt resistance. Claimed 
to be also resistant to “nail head rust” which 
attacks the fruit. Fruit are medium size, 
smooth, solid and deep from stem to blos¬ 
som. They have irregular cell structure. As 
the name would indicate, it is claimed to be 
a cross between Marvel and Globe and really 
appears to have attained the best character¬ 
istics of each, except perhaps the solidity. 
Oz., 30c; M lb., $1.00. 
JUNE PINK —An earliest, pink-fruited 
variety. It is sometimes referred to as “Pink 
Earliana” because of similarity of types. 
Fruit are of medium size and ship well. Oz., 
30c; M lb., $1.00. 
ACME —Vine hardy and productive. Fruit 
in clusters of four or five, round, smooth and 
of good size; flesh solid and of excellent 
flavor. There is no better variety for mar¬ 
ket gardeners who want an early purple 
fruited sort. Oz., 20c; H lb., 75c. 
CULTURE — Tomatoes do 
best on warm light moderately 
rich soil, and success depends 
to a great extent on securing 
rapid and unchecked growth 
in the early part of the season. 
For early crop, sow seed in hot¬ 
bed in January, transplanting 
to cold frame when plants have 
at least four leaves, in order to 
strengthen the body of the 
plant, and transplanting later 
to open ground, after all dan¬ 
ger of frost is over, in rows 3 
to 4 feet apart, and 3 feet apart 
in the rows. For later crop sow 
seed any time up to middle of 
June. Spray regularly, to 
vent blight. For the private 
garden, trellising the vines will 
prevent rotting, due to the fruit 
lying on the ground. 
PONDEROSA —Massive size, good form, 
smooth, solid, almost seedless, a delicious 
flavor. Oz., 40c; ^4 ^b., $1.40. 
CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL — An ex¬ 
tremely early variety of brightest scarlet col¬ 
or, deep fruited and solid. Very few seeds 
and of excellent flavor. Oz., 20c; lb., 75c. 
BONNY BEST —Very early, scarlet fruit. 
Vines vigorous; exceptionally good quality. 
Oz., 20c; M lb., 75c. 
DWARF CHAMPION —Quite distinct in 
foliage and habit of growth, being compact 
and upright. Fruits early and resembles 
Acme in appearance. Oz., 30c; ^4 lb., $1.00. 
DWARF STONE —The fruits are pro¬ 
duced in clusters of three to five, and, as the 
growth is close-jointed, each plant produces 
a large number. The tomatoes average 4 
inches in diameter and 2 y 2 inches in depth. 
Its dwarf, campact habit suggests its use to 
all amateurs. Oz., 25c; 14 lb., 90c. 
BEAUTY (Livingston) — Large, smooth, 
pinkish red, thick flesh, regular form. Oz., 
25c; ^4 lb., 75c.
