Culture —This delicious vegetable is one of the most important of all garden products. The seed should be sown in a hotbed about the 
first week in March or latter part of February in drills 5 in. apart and 34 in. deep. When the plants are about 2 in. high they should be set 
into .small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. About the first of May the plants may be set out in the open ground in hills 3 ft. or 4 ft. 
apart each way (Suffcient 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 of the room or kitchen.) t Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three workings of the soil 
should be very shallow (surface cultivation) or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the young plants. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
M.-S. Earlv Wonder. This is the 9th y ear that we are of - 
- fering this wonderful extra early To¬ 
mato after several years of careful selection. The fruits are large for 
so early a variety, round or slightly flattened, deep scarlet red color, 
smooth, free from cracks and of fine quality. It produces ripe 
fruit as early as Earliana and continues to yield marketable fruit 
a longer period than the other first early varieties. The vines 
are vigorous and very productive. We consider this a valuable 
addition to the list of early Tomatoes for the market or home 
garden. Pkt. 10c., 34 oz. 30c., oz. 50c., J4 lb- $1.50, lb. $5.00.

THE PRITCHARD TOMATO. Has outstanding qualities: 1st— 
Earliness, maturing in 120 to 130 days. 2d—Productiveness—

Best and other early varieties. The vines are open and not as 
heavy as Marglobe. Pkt. 10c., 34 oz. 25c., oz. 40c., 34 lb. $1.50,

MAIN CROP TOMATOES 
M.-S. BIG CHIEF. A grand main crop Tomato of the very highest 
quality. It produces an abundance of large, handsome red 
fruit which ripens clean to the stem and will bear heavily from the 
early part of July until frost. It is a very shy seeder. The meat is 
deliciously juicy and free from acid. It is rare to see an ill-shaped 
fruit on a M.-S. Big Chief vine. Pkt. 10c., 34 oz. 25c., oz. 40c.,

Kelly’s Red. This variety has obtained immense popularity in the 
last few years. It was originated in Anne Arundel County. Its 
solidity and carrying qualities are remarkable. Its color is a de¬ 
sirable red. Its shape perfectly smooth and thicker from stem to 
blossom than most varieties, making it very handsome and salable.

especially by those who prefer a Tomato quite free from acid.

Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c., 34 lb. $1.60, lb. $6.00. 
PENN STATE. Dr. Myers’ new Penn State is of very compact 
growth, which allows close planting. The foliage is dark green and 
covers the fruit well, which is borne in clusters from three to ten to 
the plant. The fruit is perfectly anid evenly colored a rich scarlet, and 
is unusually free from blemishes. It is extremely early and wonderfully 
prolific. During 1934 four tons were harvested within 115 days 
after the seed was started in the hotbed. In shape it is almost 
spherical, the interior meat is dark red with very little core and 
there are very few seeds. It produces a tremendous yield of quality 
fruit at the first picking. Due to the scarcity of this seed we can 
only offer this variety in very limited quantities. Pkt. 25c. 
Marglobe Tomato ( Certified) 
0 Certified ). No other Tomato ever introduced has been 
acclaimed as quickly as this remarkable variety which 
was originated with the Department of Agriculture in Washington. 
It is an all-purpose Tomato in every way, embodying all the good 
qualities looked for by the home gardener, the market grower, and 
the canner. It is particularly valuable for shipping and has proven 
to be decidedly disease-resistant, particularly against Fusarium 
Wilt and Nail-head Rust. The plants are vigorous and very pro¬ 
ductive, bearing a wonderful crop of uniformly globe-shaped, deep 
scarlet, large fruits. Young fruits have a tendency to be of a some¬ 
what oval shape. The skin is smooth and evenly colored from stem 
to blossom end. The interior of the fruits is solid, meaty, and juicy. 
The flavor of the bright red flesh is delicious. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., 
34 lb. $1.25, lb. $3.50. 
Marglobe. Regular stock. Pkt. 10c., oz. 25c., 34 lb. 75c., lb. $2.50. 
Oxheart. A newer variety which positively is the largest To- 
-- mato ever introduced. The skin is purplish scar¬ 
let. It is smooth and evenly colored. The individual Tomatoes 
will weigh as much as 1^ lbs. each. The oxheart shaoe of the 
fruits is most distinct. They are extremely solid and have few 
seed cells, which accounts for their enormous weight. Pkt. 
10c., 34 oz. 30c., oz. 50c., 34 lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00.
