Culture. —The seed may be sown in a hotbed from about the second week in February 
up to the end of April, in drills 5 inches apart and ^^inch deep. When the plants are about 
2 inches high they should be transplanted about 4 inches apart, or planted in 4-inch pots, 
allowing a single plant to a pot. About May 15 the plants may be set out in the open ground, 
3 feet apart. Water freely at the time of transplanting. Sufficient plants for a small garden 
may be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or flower-pot and placing it in a sunny 
window. For a final seeding it is not too late to sow seed late in May, using early varieties 
and sowing in the open ground. The fruit is greatly improved in quality if the vines are tied 
to a trellis or to stakes. 
Mar^lobe. This is a large Tomato of the globe type which we recommend in place of our 
- ■ — former Newglobe. In color it is a fine red, and of delicious table quality. It 
fruits early and continues to yield up to frost. Its remarkable feature is its strong, robust 
constitution; it resists wilt and is immune to rust, and will therefore produce healthy fruit 
during long periods of wet, unfavorable weather. Marglobe is recommended for the large 
estate and for the home-garden; for the market-grower, the shipper of car-lots, and for the 
canner. Also, it performs splendidly under glass, forcing well. Pkt. 15 cts., YiOZ. 30 cts., 
V 2 OZ. 50 cts., oz. 85 cts., $2.25.

Ponderosa. Enormous size is the chief characteristic of this variety. Few Tomatoes 
-* equal it in this respect, and while slightly ribbed, it is very solid and luscious, 
making it fine for the family garden. The fruit is deep purple, oblong in form, ridged or ribbed, 
and with small seed-cells. They frequently weigh one pound each or more. The flavor is 
good. Pkt. 15 cts., V 4 OZ. 35 cts., V^oz. 60 cts., oz. $1, Yilh. $3. 
Stone most reliable of the main-crop red Tomatoes and the 
- - standard and general favorite with truckers and canners. The plant is very vigorous 
and the deep red fruits are produced freely; they are uniform, large, round, smooth, meaty, 
and possess very little core. The flavor is fine and non-acid. Stone is superior to any other 
main-crop Tomato for its heavy yield and high quality. We offer a specially selected stock. 
Pkt. 10 cts., V^oz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts., $1.50.

color, of medium size, and are produced in large quantities. Pkt. 15 cts., Koz. 35 cts., 
oz. 65 cts., Xlb. $1.75. 
Chalk’s Early Jewel. About a week later than Earliana. It is of uniformly large size; of 
brightest red, deep fruited and solid. Bears splendid, large-sized Tomatoes throughout 
the season, and for quantity and quality of fruit it is easily without a rival among the 
best extra-earlies. Pkt. 10 cts., ^oz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts., Klb. $1.50. 
Crimson Cushion or Beefsteak. The largest of the bright red Tomatoes. Crimson Cushion 
is more symmetrical in shape than Ponderosa and is much thicker through from stem to 
blossom end; in fact, so marked is this characteristic that it is frequently almost round. 
The color is brilliant scarlet-crimson, untinged with purple, and the fruit ripens up almost 
to the stem. The flesh is firm and “meaty,” and of superb quality. Pkt. 15 cts., }ioz. 
25 cts., Y2OZ. 45 cts., oz. 75 cts., Klb. $2.

jointed branches, setting the fruit very freely in the center. The Tomato is of uniform size, 
averaging 3 inches in diameter, and from 2 to 2^ inches in depth; solid, with few seeds.

Essex Wonder. A splendid English variety, combining extreme hardiness with high-quality 
fruit and heavy yield. May be set out earlier and will yield fruit later in the season than 
other sorts. Essex Wonder has a thin skin, and its plum-like pulp, abundant juice, and 
freedom from tough, fibrous mattei' make it good eating indeed. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1.
