Tomatoes 
CULTURE—1 oz. for 4,000 plants. 
Sow in hot beds about March 1st, in rows 3 inches apart, 
transplant when 2 inches high in cold frames. When plants 
are about 6 inches high set into the field, the early varieties 
in rows 4 feet apart and 3 feet in the rows and the late 
varieties, such as Stone or Great Baltimore, 5 feet apart 
and 4 feet apart in the rows. 
In the North it is advisable to tie plants to poles or trellis 
and prune the vines to some extent, so as to allow all light 
possible and hasten the crop to maturity. Tomatoes tied to 
stakes can be as close as two feet apart each way. 
Tomatoes will give a heavy crop on any fairly good soil. 
On freshly manured ground tomatoes make a heavy growth 
of vines, but the ripening of fruit is retarded. Never plant 
tomatoes after potatoes as bugs are sure to appear and 
damage the crop. Read the description of Tomato Earliana. 
Tomato Marvelous Fink Globe 
TOMATO—MARVELOUS PINK GLOBE 
Extra Large—Extra Good 
An early, heavily productive variety, bearing large, heavy, 
smooth, bright PINK tomatoes in large clusters. Very solid 
and meaty, globe shaped of very high quality, in fact, in both 
quality and appearance almost as good as the famous Mar- 
globe. If your market demands a pink colored tomato this 
is the variety to grow if you want to bring to the market 
something extra fancy. Pkt. 15c; y s oz. 20c; y 2 oz. 50c. 
DWARF PERFECTION TOMATO 
Fruit large, smooth, almost globe shaped, bright scarlet, 
very meaty and of high quality. Ripens to the stem, has 
tough skin and is a first rate shipper. Vines potato leaved, 
short, very vigorous and healthy. Medium early. Pkt. 10c; 
oz .40c; lb. $4.00. 
TOMATO EARLIANA 
Our strain is extra choice. Fruit as smooth and as free 
from cracks as can be expected, large and bright red. In our 
trials, our strain proved absolutely superior and we have 
tried many strains, some pretty high priced among them. 
To get a heavy crop of high quality tomatoes ahead of 
others, you must grow Earliana in heavily manured ground. 
Use well rotted manure and prepare your ground in the fall 
whenever possible. You must stake the plants, because when 
plants are left laying on the ground the fruit develops a green 
spot where it touches the ground. Do not use manure for 
other varieties of tomatoes except Bonny Best and Break O’ 
Day. Both these varieties do much better when grown on 
manured ground. Otherwise the rule is for all tomatoes: no 
fresh manure. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; lb. $3 00. 
TOMATO 100% 
Large Wilt-Resistant Red—Early, Smooth, Solid ! 
An extra good new variety equally suitable for outside j 
as well as for forcing. Absolutely wilt resistant, in fact 100% 
so. Proved immune to wilt in the field and under glass pro¬ 
duced a splendid crop on clean vines free from wilt in a 
greenhouse that the year before was full of wilt. Shaped like | 
Bonny Best of larger size, more solid, deep dark red, most 
attractive in appearance. The vines are of vigorous growth 
yet without excessive foliage, bearing heavily in clusters of 
3 to 5 fruits of uniform size, almost free from culls. For j 
years to come 100% will be the leading early variety. It has j 
attractive color, size, earliness, high in quality and can be j 
marketed in competition with any other tomato at all seasons 
early or late. Supply of seed is very limited. Pkt. 15c; y% 
oz. 20c; % oz. 25c; y 2 oz. 50c.

HAVE YOU university education? If you have and if you 
had 100 university educations, you would not be really edu- j 
cated unless you understood MONEY. A newspaper man re- I 
garded by many as an extremely smart man, writing for a 
chain of newspapers, repeatedly states in his newspaper col¬ 
umn that nobody understands money. Well! If nobody under- i 
stood money, the fix the world would find itself in would be 
the same as when people could not understand each other in 
every day conversation. It is EXTREMELY important to 
understand money. You will understand money, you also will i 
understand WHY the depression is on, why so many are near 
starvation, in short you will get wise and you will know a 
great deal more than you may know now, if you will read 
“The Book”, which we will mail to you for only 25 cents.
