NICHOLSON'S TOMATO SEED ARE TESTED 
(Tomate) 
No vegetable is more appetizing or wholesome than tomatoes. For early fruit the seed should be planted thinly in hot beds or in boxes 
indoors. Harden plants by exposing to the air occasionally. It requires about six weeks’ time for the plants to become large enough for 
transplanting. One ounce will produce about 1,500 plants, 4 to 6 ounces will make sufficient plants for an acre.

quires 70 days. We have received more compli¬ 
mentary letters from our customers on this 
tomato than any we have ever handled. The 
fruits are large smooth, red, heavily meated 
and globular in shape. It is as early as 
Earliana, 10 to 12 days earlier than Marglobe. 
and a heavier yielder than either. Nicholson’s 
Break O’Day is an excellent shipper. All 
tests have proven that the fruits very seldom 
crack and are not affected by sun scald ; vines 
are practically free from blossom-end rot, and 
even when planted with other sorts that would 
be affected as much as 90 per cent. The open 
spreading vine with small leaves is wilt 
resistant and sets fruits freely. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 35c; !4 lb., $1.25; lb., $4.00; 5 lbs., $17.50,

between Livingston’s Globe Tomato and a 
French variety by the name of Marvel. It 
is a bright red variety not only on the surface 
but all the way through. It is about the 
same size and shape as Livingston’s Globe. 
One of the best features is its resistance to 
wilt and nail head rust. An excellent shipping 
and market variety. Has very small core.
