Sow the seed in frames the latter part of March, or in the open ground when the soil has become 
settled and warm. Keep well watered, and when the plants are two inches high they may be trans¬ 
planted in rows three feet apart each way. Tobacco requires a very rich, light, mellow soil.

broad leaves, mostly used for cigar wrappers. Per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 40c.; per %-\b., $1.20; per lb., $4.00.

each, except where noted 
To obtain fruit very early, 
sow the seeds in greenhouse 
during February or March, or 
in hotbed when season has 
sufficiently advanced. In about 
five weeks plants should be 
transplanted to another hot¬ 
bed, until about the middle of 
May, when they may be put 
into the ground in hills, about 
four feet apart each way. 
The richer the soil the ranker 
will be the growth of the 
vines, but an ordinary warm, 
light soil, with fine, well- 
rotted manure in the hill, and 
a sunny location, will produce 
the more handsome and plen¬ 
tiful fruit. 
Earliana. Extra early. 
Fruits medium in size, bright 
red. Vines usually through 
bearing or dead by Septem¬ 
ber first. The most important 
feature of Earliana is its ex¬ 
treme earliness, with as firm 
smooth fruits as can be had, 
without sacrificing this feature. The seed we offer is a fine strain. It has been produced with care 
to combine these features to a remarkable extent. Price per oz., 35c.; per Lt-lb., $1.00; per lb., $3.50. 
Earliana Special. A very superior strain, on which has been spent much time in individual plant 
selection, resulting in greater uniformity, smoothness and productiveness than in any other strain we 
have ever seen. It is undoubtedly profitable for market growers to use such seed when obtainable. 
Price per pkt., 15c.; per oz., 70c.; per Y\ -lb., $2.25; per lb., $7.50. 
Pritchard. (New). A great advance in the early class. The fruits ripen with or just after the first 
Earliana and ahead of Bonny Best. A cross between Marglobe and Cooper’s Special by the late Dr. 
F. J. Pritchard. Fruits good size, intense scarlet and do not turn yellow or blister; similar in struc¬ 
ture to Marglobe, solid, almost no core, small seed pockets; excellent in appearance and quality. 
The plants are disease-resistant and produce unusually heavy crops. The Pritchard is valuable for 
both market and home use. Price per oz., 35c.; per (4-lb., $1.00; per lb., $3.50. 
Bonny Best. An early, round, smooth, bright scarlet Tomato, similar to Chalk’s Early Jewel; two 
or three days earlier and slightly smaller, producing especially well the early clusters of three to 
five attractive, solid fruits. Price per oz., 35c.; pe- %-\b., $1.00; per lb., $3.50.
