TOMATOES 
Tomatoes are rich in health-giving elements, and are uni¬ 
versally used as appetizing food. All gardeners should 
grow an early crop as well as a main crop, whether they 
are for home use or market. The main crop is, of course, 
the most desirable for canning. 
The early varieties (E) mature in 85 to 95 days, the mid¬ 
season or second-early varieties (M) in 100 to 105 days, 
the late or main-crop varieties (L) in 110 to 120 days.
