TOMATO 
CULTURE. Tomato seed should be planted in a box in 
the house or in hotbeds or greenhouse about the 1st of 
March, then transplanted once or twice to develop the 
roots to a good size before setting out in the open. 
Do not set out until all danger of frost is passed, as 
tomatoes are easily damaged by frost.

Gould’s Early Standard Tomato—Reduced in Size 
Note its very meaty appearance 
Fertilizer for Tomatoes —Use 6-15-9 as a side-dressing 
about three times during the growing season, until to¬ 
matoes are well set. 
Earliana "Private Stock’’* 
The result of many years’ selection from the most per¬ 
fect and earliest stock. Produces more uniform fruit 
of a smooth, perfect shape than any other early variety. 
Spark’s Earliana 
One of the very earliest sorts. Fruit of fair size, color 
bright scarlet. A prolific bearer, yielding fruit in clusters, 
particularly in warm sandy soil. 
Gould’s Dwarf Giant 
Habit of growth is like the Dwarf Champion excepting 
that fruits are much larger and meatier with a delicious 
flavor. Matures medium early and continues to bear until 
frost. A fine tomato. 
Livingston’s Beauty* 
One of the smoothest skinned and best of the large sorts. 
The vines are larg;e, vigorous and very productive. The 
fruit is large, uniform in size and very smooth. The 
skin is purplish-pink and flesh is pink; very solid and 
fine flavored. A fine variety for medium early or for 
main crop. A splendid sort for slicing. 
Stone* 
This is one of the most popular of the late varieties. It 
is a good late canning tomato and is grown in some 
sections as a market garden variety. The plants are 
strong and vigorous and produce a heavy yield of fruit 
where the growing season is long. The fruit is bright 
red in color, of good size, smooth, round, meaty and fine 
flavor. 
Pritchard* (Scarlet Topper) 
This new variety introduced by the U. S. Dept, of Agri¬ 
culture, is from their experiments, the most perfect 
disease, wilt and rust-resisting tomato. The fruits are 
scarlet, large, globe-shaped and very attractive. Pritchard 
matures as early as Bonny Best and is highly recom¬ 
mended for both home and market garden. 
Gould’s Early Standard* 
Gould’s Early Standard Tomato is the result of many 
years of experimenting to obtain a meaty, heavy bearing 
tomato, that would produce early and continue to bear 
fruit until frost. 
It has no equal for the home garden, or for market, be¬ 
ing an excellent keeper and shipper, fruit being firm, 
coloring beautifully, producing abundantly from early 
summer till frost. Flavor is unsurpassed. Unexcelled 
for canning. No expense has been spared to make Gould’s 
Early Standard the best tomato grown anywhere. 
Marglobe* 
A fine blight resistant tomato produced under the direc¬ 
tion of Dr. F. J. Pritchard of the United States Bureau 
of Plant Industry. The plants are very disease resistant. 
It produces immense yields of handsome deep red globe- 
shaped , tomatoes, of good size with a flavor that is a 
happy medium between the acid and non-acid sorts. 
The shape and size make this a very desirable salad or 
slicing tomato.

Bonny Best* 
A very popular second early variety. Ripens a few days 
later than Earliana. Vines are vigorous, prolific, fruit 
red, solid, medium in size, smooth, small core and very 
uniform in size and color. A very popular variety for 
early market and also a good home garden tomato. 
Oxheart 
Fruit is large and very solid with few seeds. It is heart- 
shaped, the skin pink, and the flavor delicious. Used for 
second early and main crop. 
Dwarf Champion 
Dwarf and compact in habit. Stands up well even when 
loaded with fruit, having a stiff, bushy stem. May be 
planted close together making it desirable for small 
gardens. The fruit is of a purplish pink color, medium 
size, smooth, very attractive and fine flavored. Skin is 
tough and flesh solid, but has no hard core. 
John Baer* 
Is considered one of the best early tomatoes grown. 
Fruit is smooth, uniform in size, nearly round, firm and 
of excellent quality. Will hold up well for shipping. It 
is a heavy bearer that will last all summer. A favorite 
with market gardeners, shippers and canners.

of fine quality and seed cells small. Plants are very 
prolific.

This is the largest fruited Tomato. It is solid with very 
small seed cells, of very fine quality for slicing. Some 
of the fruit is oblong in shape and somewhat ribbed. 
The color is purplish red. The vines are strong and if 
staked will grow to a height of 6 or 7 feet, very often 
bearing fruit that will weigh one pound or more. 
Golden Ponderosa 
A large golden-yellow tomato, in shape very much like 
the Red Ponderosa. The vines are vigorous and bear 
right up to frost, fruits very uniform in size and shape 
that contain very few seeds. Good for slicing or pre¬ 
serves. 
SMALL FRUITED TOMATOES 
Ground Cherry or Golden Husk 
These are greatly valued for preserves or for making 
pies. Fruit is very sweet and mild in flavor. 
Yellow Plum 
A small yellow fruited variety, finely flavored, resembling 
a plum in size and form. Used mostly for preserving.
