TOMATOES 
CULTURE—Plant seed in box inside or in hot¬ 
bed from February 15 to March 1. Transplant May 
10 to 20; rows 6 feet wide and 5 to 6 feet in rows; 
use light, loamy soil, well cultivated and fertilized. 
♦GILL’S SELECTED EARLIANA—For over 28 
years we have given personal selection to this strain 
and believe we now have the largest and smoothest 
first early tomato yet offered. The fruit is of bright 
deep red color, rather thick from stem to blossom 
and unusually solid. Our selections are making 
rapid and decided improvements in this variety and 
nearly all the fruit will pack number one grade. 
Owing to the fact that it is a shy seeder we must 
ask more for the seed than other sorts. Do not 
confuse this with the ordinary strains of Earliana. 
Reports from large growers claim this is the best 
strain of Earliana they have tried. Also reports 
from hot climates indicate it is unusually success¬ 
ful. One grower picking continuously from July 
until November; storing green ones then for Decem¬ 
ber supplies. This is made possible by a minimum of 
cracked fruits. Pkt. 10c; l A oz. 25c; oz. 75c; *4

♦PEPPER TOMATO—We have selected this for 
several seasons and now have large, smooth fruit 
ideal for market. It is very resistant to rain cracks. 
We claim it is one of the finest tomatoes we have 
ever tasted. Practically every fruit is smooth, run¬ 
ning from globe to oblong shape, and they are 
exceptionally solid, containing very little seed. The 
fruit is red with a purplish tone and the sweetest 
of any we have tried, being unusually free of acid. 
It produces heavy yields. Pkt. 15c; X A oz. 35c; 
oz. $1.00.
