Earliana 
CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL — An ex¬ 
tremely early variety of brightest scarlet col¬ 
or, deep fruited and solid. Very few seeds 
and of excellent flavor. Oz., 20c; }4 lb., 75c. 
TOMATOES 
CULTURE—Tomatoes do best on warm 
light moderately rich soil, and success de¬ 
pends to a great extent on securing rapid 
and unchecked growth in the early part 
of the season. For early crop, sow seed 
in hotbed in January, transplanting to 
cold frame when plants have at least four 
leaves, in order to strengthen the body of 
the plant, and transplanting later to open 
ground, after all danger of frost is over, 
in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, and 3 fete 
apart in the rows. For late crop sow seed 
any time up to the middle of June. Spray 
regularly, to prevent blight. For the pri¬ 
vate garden, trellising the vines will pre¬ 
vent rotting, due to the fruit lying on the 
ground.

EARLIANA —It is a full week ahead of Vines vigorous; exceptionally good quality.

very productive. Fruits large, deep red, and 
of superior quality. Smooth and free from 
cracks. Oz., 25c; }4 lb., 90c.

dens. This is one of Professor Yeager’s con¬ 
tributions, extra early, prolific and of finest 
quality. 
MARGLOBE— A main-crop, scarlet-fruit¬ 
ed variety. Introduced by the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture for wilt resistance. Claimed 
to be also resistant to “nail head rust” which 
attacks the fruit. Fruit are medium size, 
smooth, solid and deep from stem to blos¬ 
som. They have irregular cell structure. As 
the name would indicate, it is claimed to be 
a cross between Marvel and Globe and really 
appears to have attained the best character¬ 
istics of each, except perhaps the solidity. 
Oz., 30c; }4 lb., 90c. 
JUNE PINK —An earliest, pink-fruited 
variety. It is sometimes referred to as “Pink 
Earliana” because of similarity of types. 
Fruit are of medium size and ship well. Oz., 
30c; M lb., $1.00. 
ACME —Vine hardy and productive. Fruit 
in clusters of four or five, round, smooth and 
of good size; flesh solid and of excellent 
flavor. There is no better variety for mar¬ 
ket gardeners who want an early purple 
fruited sort. Oz., 20c; }4 lb., 75c. 
PONDEROSA —Massive size, good form, 
smooth, solid, almost seedless, a delicious 
flavor. Oz., 40c; lb., $1.40. 
DWARF STONE —The fruits are pro¬ 
duced in clusters of three to five, and, as the 
growth is close-jointed, each plant produces 
a large number. The tomatoes average 4 
inches in diameter and 2 V 2 inches in depth. 
Its dwarf, campact habit suggests its use to 
all amateurs. Oz., 25c; }4 lb., 90c.

pinkish red, thick flesh, regular form. Oz., 
25c; Yz lb., 75c.

perfectly smooth, fine bright scarlet; best 
main crop. Oz., 15c; }4 lb., 50c. 
JOHN BAER —An early, bright red To¬ 
mato of wonderful quality. But little later 
than Earliana, it far surpasses that variety 
in size and quality; it is, further one of the 
heaviest-yielding sorts we know. The flesh 
is solid, possessing a fine flavor, free from 
acid. Oz., 25c; M lb., 80c. 
PRITCHARD OR SCARLET TOPPER— 
Wilt resistant. Fruits large, smooth, globu¬ 
lar, solid with thick walls and cross section.

ket garden variety. Excellent for shipping.
