Tomato 
Culture.— The tomato is raised from seed, 
which should be sown in the hotbed about 
February 20, and continuous sowing made 
until April 1, according as the plants are 
wanted for use. When the plants are about 
2 inches high, transplant to 4 inches apart, 
and, after three or four weeks, transplant 
from the hotbed into a coldframe, setting 
the plants 8 inches apart each way . (A 
coldframe is simply a low wooden frame 
covered with glass, used to protect such 
plants as are not sufficiently hardy to 
withstand our winters.) Keep the plants 
cool, so as to make them stocky. Set out 
in the open ground about June 1, in well 
enriched soil, setting the plants 5 feet apart 
each way.

Earliana Tomato 
Six Unexcelled Tomatoes 
Break O’ Day. A new disease-resistant red tomato from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. On 
the order of Marglobe but of more open spreading habit of growth; nearly two weeks earlier than 
the Marglobe with fruit of equal size, exceedingly productive and bound to be one of the most pop¬ 
ular, early, commercial tomatoes. 
Earliana. The most productive, first early red tomato and a profitable sort for the home or market 
garden. Vines are small but vigorous; fruits medium to large in size, nearly globe shaped, excep¬ 
tionally smooth and solid; color bright, deep scarlet. 
June Pink. The description given above for Earliana applies equally well to this variety, for they 
are quite identical except in color, June Pink being purplish-pink. 
Globe (Livingston’s). The most popular main crop variety with southern truckers; very vigorous, 
productive and fairly early; fruit globe shaped, smooth and solid; color purplish-pink. 
Oxheart. Produces large purple fruits of “oxheart” form and has decidedly small seed cells contain¬ 
ing a very few seed. Fruits are very solid and frequently weigh one and one-half pounds. 
Ponderosa. A very desirable, large, purple fruited tomato for home use. While the fruit is excep¬ 
tionally large it is one of the most solid, having few seeds; for slicing and table use has no equal.
