LEE ADAMS SEED CO. 
KANSAS CITY, MO. 
Tomatoes 
One Ounce of Seed Will Produce 2,000 Plants; Two 
Ounces Will Plant An Acre. 
To have the Tomato very early, it is necessary to start the 
plants in a hotbed, or they may be reared in a flower pot 
or box in a window and subsequently transplanted, when 
the plants are about 2 inches high, into 3-inch pots or 
shallow boxes, setting them about 4 inches apart. 
For intermediate crop, they may be raised in outside beds. 
For late crop the seed may be planted in permanent 
position when the apple is in bloom.

Red or Scarlet Varieties 
EARLIANA. (90 days). An earliest, scarlet-fruited 
variety. Of all similar varieties, Earliana prob¬ 
ably proves the leader. The fruits are solid and 
meaty. Being a first-early variety, a little smooth¬ 
ness of fruit is sacrificed for earliness. Fruits are 
of medium size and set in large clusters. Vine is 
flat and open and does not make a large growth.

very deep, round, and much resemble Marglobe 
fruit. Cell structure is broken, with heavy walls. 
Fruits set in clusters of 4-7. Vine is of open 
spreading growth with a trifle heavier foliage 
than Earliana. One of the late Dr. Pritchard’s 
developments and introduced by the U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture in 1930, it has met with 
quick and wide favor for early market planting. 
It is claimed to be a cross between Marglobe and 
Marvana. Pkt., 15c; oz., 50c; V4 lb., $1.50; lb., 
$5.50, postpaid.
