jr" CULTURE.—Six or eight weeks before frost is over plant one-quarter inch deep in hot-beds or shallow boxes, 
n II and when they have made four leaves transplant to promote root growth. Expose as much as possible to harden 
/ -sir them, so that they will become strong and stocky, but do not allow the growth to be checked. Transplant 3 to 4 
V_^]T feet apart in a light, warm soil, and shade them a few days until well rooted. Spray with bordeaux mixture to pre 
vent disease, and in it put arsenate of lead to kill insects. Dot not plant in an old seed bed. 
1 ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre.

interest since the introduction of our Wood’s Famous Brimmer. It was 
bred primarily to produce a red wilt-resistant tomato of the Globe type 
and exceeded'all expectations. It is a splendid bearer, firm, thick and 
mildly acid. Ripens perfectly, does not crack easily and is of very superior 
quality. The fruits are of good size, smooth, solid, deep from stem to blos¬ 
som, and are borne in clusters of 5 to 7 fruits. Marglobe has proved Its 
ability to withstand long peri¬ 
ods of wet weather.

Pritchard or Scarlet Topper Tomato 
No. 429. Norduke Wilt-Resistant 
Scarlet. [125 Days] —A notable wilt-resistant 
or “blight-proof” scarlet tomato for the home 
garden and nearby market that produces an 
abundant yield of smooth, solid, meaty fruits 
of good size. This is a tomato we can recom¬ 
mend highly because of its dependability to 
live and bear in wilt-infested soils. Slightly 
later than Norton. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 2 ozs. 50c;

No. 421. Norton Wilt-Resistant 
Scarlet. [120 Days] —Norton was developed 
from the Stone and ripens at the same season. 
It yields a heavy crop of large, smooth, solid 
red fruits that ripen slowly, therefore is a 
good keeper and a good shipper; it is also re¬ 
markably drought-resistant. Excellent for the 
home garden, for canning and for the late 
market. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 45c; y 4 lb. 85c; 
lb. $3.00, postpaid.

Break-o’-Day 
No. 427. Break-o’-Day scarlet. [95 
J Days] —Its 
outstanding features are earliness and 
productiveness. It is really a very early 
Marglobe, has much the same shape, 
color and size, thickness of walls, but 
almost as early as Earliana, yet deep, 
solid smooth; of good size and almost 
seedless. The foliage is sparse. Our 
stock was grown from seeds supplied 
by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. Pkt.

Norton Wilt-Resistant Tomato 
No. 420. Pritchard or Scarlet Topper Sc ^ et f. r C ff ( ^fr] 
probably did his best work in tomatoes when he crossed Mar¬ 
globe and Cooper’s Special and produced Scarlet Topper, now 
renamed Pritchard in his honor. It inherits the best qualities of 
Marglobe and the earliness, productiveness and self-topping fea¬ 
tures of Cooper’s Special. The uniformly smooth globe-shaped 
fruits are large, solid and heavy; have thick walls; skin and 
flesh are intense scarlet; no core and small seed pockets. The 
sturdy vines are heavy producers, have abundant foliage to pro¬ 
tect the fruits and bear for a long season. It is almost as early 
as Bonnie Best. Pritchard promises to become an outstanding 
leader among home gardeners, market gardeners and canners.
