Grade of Tomato seed in comparison with the 
best they have been able to obtain from any 
other source; listed page 78.

Grothen's Globe 
Grn+hpn'c 70 clays. (NEW.) A new very early maturing 
vji iicii 5 vi/KJUt? beautiful red tomato. The center is slow to 
ripen and the walls heavy and solid, making it an excellent shipping 
sort. Color and size about like Marglobe but at least a week earlier. 
We believe it a selection from Break O’Day. Foliage and color, 
however, are better than that variety. A heavy producer. Fruits 
smooth and will pack a large percent “fancy.”

they may be “pricked out” in a larger box, hot bed or cold frame and spaced 
about 4 inches apart. Use only loose soil that will not bake or crust easily. 
This extra transplanting is now rarely done by large commercial growers. 
The plants usually being thinned in the beds to stand two or three inches 
either way. If the plants become too tall and "leggy" they are sometimes 
sheared. It is much better, however, to keep the beds cool enough so that 
short, stocky, hardy plants are produced." Keep the soil moist enough for good 
steady growth. Too much watering will result in spindling plants and increase 
the danger of “damping off.” 
Transplanting Varieties with small vines may be set four feet by four 
y feet which will require 2,723 plants per acre. 1,743 plants 
are required if spaced 5 feet by 5 feet. This much room 
or more being required by the large vining sorts such as Norton and Indiana 
Baltimore. If checked in squares, plants may be cultivated both ways. In 
transplanting the main points to be regarded are: care in taking up the 
plants to avoid injury to the roots, setting out as soon as possible to prevent 
the air coming in contact with the roots, setting out firmly to prevent the hot 
sun from withering and blighting the leaves. Before setting out, harden the 
plants by letting them get quite dry a day or two before, but give them 
abundance of wafer a few hours before pulling. Setting out is most apt to 
be successfully done just at evening or immediately before or during a rain. 
About the worst time is just after a rain, when the ground being wet it is im¬ 
possible to sufficiently press it about the plants without baking hard. Under 
irrigation, plants should be set on the edge of the furrow and immediately 
followed by water.
