Tomatoes 
Our Tomato Seed is grown by a specialist who grows only tomatoes. Our seed is the best 
grown. 
CULTURE—Sow the seed in hotbeds in early 
March, moving plants to cold frame when of suit¬ 
able size. Harden off in cold frame until conditions 
are right in the field for their transplanting. Too 
frequent watering is harmful, especially spraying 
the plants. Just a moderate amount of water should 
be applied at the roots at regular intervals. 
BREAK O'DAY—Another of Dr. Pritchard’s 
introductions. A cross of Mar globe and 
Marvana, resistant to wilt and nail-head 
rust. Plant light, of open, spreading 
habit with medium foliage; early and very 
prolific. Fruits medium large, orange- 
red, uniform, globe-shaped, smooth; walls 
not as thick as' in Marglobe. Very early 
maturing just 4 days later than Earliana. 
Very desirable for early market. Fruits 
are free from cracking around stem end 
and of very uniform shape. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
60c; 2 ozs. $1.10; Va lb. $2.00.

Department of Agriculture. This variety

shippers, and in some sections by canners.

ant to wilt and nail-head rust; moder¬ 
ately productive. Fruits medium large, 
nearly globular, smooth, solid, with thick
