Tomatoes 
Our Tomato Seed is grown by a specialist who grows only tomatoes. Our seed is the best 
grown. 
CULTURE —Sow the seed in hotbeds in early March, 
moving plants to cold frame when of suitable size. Harden 
off in cold frame until conditions are right in the field 
for their transplanting. Too frequent watering is harmful, 
especially spraying the plants. Just a moderate amount 
of water should be applied at the roots at regular intervals. 
PRITCHARD or SCARLET TOPPER—A scarlet, self¬ 
topping, disease-resistant variety originated 
by the late Dr. F. J. Pritchard, of the United 
States Department of Agriculture, in 1931. It 
is a cross between Marglobe and Cooper’s Spe¬ 
cial and has inherited fine qualities from each 
parent; heavily productive. Fruits large, 
smooth, globular, solid, with thick walls and 
cross-sections; color light scarlet, not as in¬ 
tense as could be desired. Highly valuable for 
market garden use and for long distance ship¬ 
ping. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; Va lb. $1.50.

Break O' Day ly and very proli¬

shaped, smooth; walls not as thick as in
