Bonny Best Tomato 
TOMATOES 
Sow thinly about the first week in March in a hotbed, greenhouse, or 
window, where the temperature is never below 60 degrees. When 2 inches 
high, set out the plants in boxes about 4 inches apart, or pot singly. After 
all danger of frost is past they may be transferred to the open ground. Set 
them deeply, 4 feet apart, and a shovelful of rotted manure should be mixed 
in the earth of each hill. If the vines are trained on trellis, the fruit will be 
liner and larger. 
p •. 1 1 or SCARLET TOPPER. This new Tomato is the last introduc- 
r rilCnara tion of the late Dr. Pritchard of the United States Dept, of Agri¬ 
culture who originated such varieties as Marglobe and Break O’Day, and it 
was considered by him to be the best of them all. The fruit is medium early, 
ripening right after Bonny Best. The flesh is very solid with few seed-cavities 
and the brilliant red color goes right up to the stem. This variety is free 
from cracks which gives the grower a large percentage of No. 1 fruit. The 
quality is extra fine, being mild and without acidity. The plants are robust 
but not of rank growth and bear heavily. Pkt. 15c.; J^oz. 35c.; oz. 65c.
