WOOD’S PEDIGREE TOMATOES 
CULTURE.—Six or eight weeks before frost is over plant one-quarter inch deep in hot-beds or shallow boxes, 
and when they have made four leaves transplant to promote root growth. Expose as much as possible to harden 
them, so that they will become strong and stocky, but do not allow the growth to be checked. Transplant 3 to 4 
feet apart in a light, warm soil, and shade them a few days until well rooted. Spray with bordeaux mixture to pre¬ 
vent disease, and in it put arsenate of lead to kill insects. Dot not plant in an old seed bed. 
1 ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre.

C* „ - n -l Wpivht —Brimmers measuring 15 to 16 
jiic ouu » c, s s. inches in circumference, and weigh¬ 
ing 2^54 pounds or more, are not at all unusual. They 
are all meat, have very few seeds and no core. 
—Although a few days later than the 
very early varieties, the enormous size 
and remarkable yield more than make up for the few 
days difference in earliness. The vines bear a tremend¬ 
ous load of fruits right up to frost, and the fruits are 
large till the end of the' season. Brimmer not only 
makes big tomatoes, but a lot of them. 
—To make the big¬ 
gest tomatoes and 
the largest yield, train to a single stem, tie the vines 
un to strong five-foot stakes; this gives ample room 
for development, plenty of sunlight, holds them off the 
ground and enables the vines to continue to yield a con¬ 
stant supply right up to frost.

No. 436. Wood’s Im¬ 
proved Ponderosa 
Beefsteak Tomato. [110 
Days]— Before our Brim¬ 
mer was introduced, Pon¬ 
derosa was the outstand¬ 
ing tomato in size and 
quality. Unfortunately, 
the old Ponderosa was 
rough and uneven. In our 
improved strain the ten¬ 
dency to produce rough 
fruits has been overcome 
without in any way sacrificing the many fine qualities that made this fine tomato 
famous. The plants are healthy and luxuriant, quite blight-resistant and continuous 
and abundant bearers. They are so vigorous that even in dry seasons we have grown 
tomatoes of unusual size. The fruits are practically all meat, with exceptionally few 
seeds. If trained to a single stem, tomatoes weighing a pound or more are not un¬ 
usual. Color, purplish pink. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; V4 lb. $1.60; lb. $6.00; 2 lbs. $11.50, post¬ 
paid. 
"Wood’s Improved Ponderosa Tomato 
There is no tomato that can compare with Brimmer. 
it is the largest and most productive of all 
this statement refers particularly to the qual¬ 
ity, flavor and meatiness of the fruits that are without 
the acidity so objectionable in some varieties. 
Onalitv — In the breeding of our Brimmer, quality is 
v^uaiiiy Qur consideration. The flavor is delicious 
and they are so free of acid that they may be eaten 
with impunity by those to whom acid tomatoes bring 
distress. For slicing, no tomato can compare with 
Brimmer. The slices are usually large enough to fill 
an ordinary salad dish.

No. 432. Oxheart Tomato [no Days]— A more appropriate name 
could not be given this fine tomato, tor it 
is not only shaped like a beef heart, but when well grown is almost as 
large. The color of the fruits is deep pink, about the same shade as our 
Improved Ponderosa; they have the same mild flavor and texture, but 
have even fewer seeds; in fact, it is almost seedless, frequently 2 inches 
of meat without a seed cavity. Oxheart is smooth, thick, tender, and has 
that delicious mild flavor 
that every tomato lover 
likes so well. As a home 
garden tomato it is fine, 
but we do not recom¬ 
mend it to market grow¬ 
ers except for local mar¬ 
kets; it will not stand 
long distance shipment.
