TOMATO 
Culture—Sow in early March, in hot beds or seed- 
boxes, and when plants have four leaves transplant to 
four or five inches apart; give plenty of air and en¬ 
deavor to secure a vigorous and healthy growth. When 
all danger of frost is past, transplant to open ground, 
four to six feet apart each way. 
EARLIANA. The earliest large smooth red tomato. 
This tomato is not only remarkable for its earliness, 
but for its very large size, handsome shape and bright 
red color. Its solidity and fine quality are quite equal 
to the best medium and late sorts. One of our growers 
has a specimen plant that had by actual count forty- 
five ripened fruits at time of the first picking, and 
thirty-five green ones of good size. No market gardener 
should be without this tomato. 66 days. 
DWARF CHAMPION. A great favorite; its dwarf 
habit and upright, tree-like growth permit close plant¬ 
ing; resembles the Acme and is hard to beat for home 
use. Color, purplisli-pink, smooth and symetrical; fine 
quality and solid meated. This is the kind gardeners 
should grow who sell tomato plants; its stalky, tree like 
growth makes most salable plants, outselling other 
kinds of lanky, scraggy growth. 86 days.

JOHN BAER. An extra early scarlet fruited variety 
of superior merit. The vines are very hardy and excep¬ 
tionally productive. T.he fruits are the largest of the 
extra early sorts and are also most attractive in color. 
They are nearly round, smooth, firm and of excellent 
quality. It is one of the very earliest to ripen its 
first fruits and it continues to furnish marketable fruits 
much longer than other very early varieties. It is an 
invaluable sort for market gardeners’ use. 70 days. 
PRITCHARD OR SCARLET TOPPER. Wilt resis¬ 
tant. Fruits large, smooth, globular, solid with thick 
walls and cross section. Color deep scarlet. Splendid 
home and market garden variety. Excellent for ship¬ 
ping. 
DWARF STONE. This tomato was originated by 
‘‘Livingstone,’’ the tomato specialist. In habit of vine 
it resembles Dwarf Champion, but is of stronger 
growth, and stands more erect. The tomatoes resemble 
the original Stone in color, shape, and what is re¬ 
markable for an erect sort, they are practically the 
same size. The shape is perfect, with good skin, very 
solid flesh, ripens evenlv and is of excellent flavor. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. This is the only first-class, large, 
pure yellow tomato. 
PONDEROSA. The fruits often weigh two or three 
pounds each; of a rich, bright crimson color and all 
solid meat; exceptionally free from seeds. Extremely 
delicious in flavor, whether used raw or cooked; a single 
tomato is enough for a meal. Very desirable for family 
and market purposes. 88 days. 
ACME. One of the earliest and handsomest varieties. 
The fruit is of medium size, perfectly smooth and regu¬ 
lar in shape; very solid and a great bearer; color dark 
red with a purplish tint. 82 days.

NEW STONE. Positively the best all round main 
crop tomato whether for the market, for canning pur¬ 
poses or for the home garden. The fruit is large, 
smooth, solid, firm-fleshed, of a handsome deep red 
color and ripens evenly to the stem without a crack. 
Our stock of this splendid variety is far superior to 
what is usually sold under this name. 
BONNY BEST. 88 days. Very early, large and 
smooth; heavy cropper (Scarlet Red). This variety 
is a vigorous grower; enormously prolific. In shape 
it is slightly flattened but thicker through than most 
other tomatoes. In color it is a beautiful scarlet red, 
setting its fruit in clusters of five or more at close 
intervals. Ready to pick in 88 days. Makes a mag¬ 
nificent variety for greenhouse growing. Also an ex¬ 
cellent quality tomato for all purposes, grotving in all 
sections. 73 days. 
MARGLOBE. Nail Rust Resistant. A wonderful 
variety which is resistant to nail-head rust and fusarium 
wilt. Ripens 10 to 12 days later than Earliana; large, 
perfect globe-shaped fruits of a beautiful scarlet color. 
Its spreading habit of growth enables it to bear in great 
“hnudance.
