Hardy and Productive 
CULTURE.—Sow the seed in March and April in the hot¬ 
bed, or in pots in a sunny exposure in the house. If it is de¬ 
sired to make very stocky plants they may be transplanted 
when about two or three inches high. When six or eight inches 
high, if the ground has become warm, transplant to the open 
ground, on a rainy or cloudy day, if possible: if not, the 
young plants should be liberally watered and shaded from 
the hot sun. Set the plants four to five feet apart each 
way.

New Break o’ Day 
Break o’ Day will fill a long-felt 
want for an early Tomato with the 
good qualities of the popular and 
heavier yielding later sorts. From 
present indcations it will be a 
most popular early Tomato with 
market gardeoers, large truckers 
and shippers. This new sort was 
developed by Prof. Pritchard of 
the U. S. Department of Agricul¬ 
ture. The fruit is the same color, shape, 
size and solidity as Marglobe but ripens 10 
to 15 days earlier. Break o’ Day is a wonderful 
yielder ar»d the vine is of spreading growth 
with good foliage to protect the fruit. Pkt.,

or. It is a medium early sort, producing splen¬

with heavy foliage which protects 
the fruit. While a comparatively 
new sort it has already gained

home garden and as a commercial 
sort. Market gardeners find this 
variety sells readily and is a very
