TOMATO 
German, Liebesapfel. Italian, Porno d’oro. 
French, Tomato. Spanish, Tomates. 
Cultural Directions. —Tomatoes do best on warm light moder¬ 
ately 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 
danger 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 prevent blight. For the private garden, trellising 
the vines will prevent rotting, due to the fruit Ijdng on the ground. 
One ounce will produce about 3000 plants.

smooth, handsome shape, ripens evenly close up to the stem. An

Break O’Day.—The earliest, disease resistant, globe shaped, 
scarlet fruited, meaty Tomato yet introduced. 10 to 12 days 
earlier than Marglobe, and very productive. Break O’Day will fill a 
long felt want for an early Tomato with the good qualities of the 
popular later sorts. It was developed by Dr. Fred J. Pritchard, 
senior Physiologist of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, and is a cross 
between Marglobe and Marvana, having the disease resistant 
quality of its parents. Vine is of open habit similar to Marvana, 
but heavier in growth. Fruits are of the Marglobe type, deep globe 
shaped, solid—meaty, with few seeds, and a scarlet color. Excellent 
for home gardens or truck farmers.
