TOMATO 
Tomaten Tomate Pomo d’Oro 
One packet produces enough plants for the home-garden; one ounce contains 
about 4000 seeds. 
Culture. Sow early in the spring in greenhouse, hotbed, or boxes indoors. 
Prick the young plants into little paper pots, or transplant in flats, and set 
them out in well-manured spots to 3 feet apart when the weather is settled 
and warm. For best results, train the plants to single stakes, prune off side 
branches, cultivate thoroughly and continuously throughout the season. 
Beefsteak. A sturdy, healthy grower yielding enormous quantities of 
smooth, handsome, bright red fruits until killed by frost. Particu¬ 
larly desirable for family use, for canning, and also a popular variety 
in the market because it stands rough handling and shipping well. 
It excels in earliness, size, symmetrical shape, and handsome color. 
Bonny Best. An excellent, extra-early variety with very smooth, 
round, meaty fruits of bright, sparkling scarlet. A desirable variety 
for the home-garden and market gardeners where specially fine 
quality is in demand. It is one of the firmest and meatiest of the 
very early varieties and excels for canning. 
Break O’Day. Blight-resistant variety developed from Marglobe, with 
the same rich, glowing color, size and substance, but ripening early, 
just after Bonny Best and ahead of Earliana. It always yields 
perfect fruit in great quantities throughout the season. 
Chalk’s Early Jewel. One of the heaviest bearing varieties, producing 
fruits averaging more than 3 inches in diameter, smooth, thick, solid, 
with few seeds. It ripens immediately after Spark’s Earliana and is 
one of the finest of all Tomatoes for the home-garden. 
Crimson Cushion. A bright scarlet form of the original Ponderosa. 
Bears prodigious crops of perfectly formed fruits of enormous size 
which ripen clear through to the stem. A sweet, solid variety with 
very few seeds, unsurpassed for cooking, and when served in slices 
its solid, tempting appearance compels instant admiration. 
Dwarf Champion. Short, sturdy plants about 2jdj feet high which need 
no support except on the richest soil. Fruits average 2 to 2 3^ inches 
in diameter and have thick, solid meat of splendid flavor. Excellent 
for the small home-garden. 
Dwarf Stone. Somewhat like Dwarf Champion. Bright red-scarlet 
fruits not unlike those of the old-fashioned Stone. A fine, late- 
bearing variety for the small home-garden. 
Earliana. A standard, extra-early, bright red Tomato. It matures its 
first fruits in about 100 days. A great favorite of market gardeners 
and is invaluable in the home-garden. Its smooth, medium-sized 
fruits are crisp and acid, very juicy, but not quite as good a keeper 
as the late varieties. 
Golden Queen. One of the best deep yellow Tomatoes, noted particu¬ 
larly for its mild, sweet flavor which is so characteristic of the yellow 
sorts. Fruits are rather small, averaging scarcely more than 2J4 
inches, but are thick, meaty, and solid. The plants bear freely. 
Superb for preserving. 
Greater Baltimore. A main-crop Tomato which is used extensively by 
canners and market gardeners. The fruits are medium-sized, scarlet, 
smooth, and solid throughout. 
John Baer. A very popular medium-sized Tomato, with brilliant 
scarlet skin and thick, meaty flesh. Its round, handsome appearance 
has given it great popularity in the home-garden where it has long 
been one of the favorite varieties. 
J. T. D. Classed as a second-early, being a little later but larger than 
Bonny Best. Fruit is slightly flattened. Vines unusually strong. 
Under normal conditions sets and produces a heavy crop. Ripens 
well around the stem, and does not crack as badly as Bonny Best. 
Days to maturity, 130 to 140. Originated by H. F. Hall and named 
in honor of Dr. John T. Dorrance of the Campbell Soup Co. 
June Pink. A fine extra-early variety with pink or purple skin bearing 
its first ripe fruits in 100 days from sowing under favorable condi¬ 
tions. In many ways it resembles Spark’s Earliana, from which it 
differs in color.
