Have You Ever Grown Small-Fruited Tomatoes?—-Decorative and Delicious 
Marglobe Tomato 
TOMATOES 
One ounce will produce about 1000 plants. 
They yield in from 9 to 13 weeks after 
setting out plants, the time largely 
depending on the variety. 
Culture. Seed may be sown sparingly in a hot¬ 
bed, greenhouse, or in the home from the second 
week in February to the end of April. When the 
plants are about 2 inches high they should be trans¬ 
planted about 4 inches apart, or thinned so that 
they do not overcrowd. Around May 15 the plants 
may be set out in the open ground, 3 feet each way. 
For an autumn crop, sow seed in May in the open 
ground. The fruit is greatly improved if kept off 
the ground by giving the plants some support. 
Marglobe. A large Tomato of the globe 
type. It is a fine red color and of delicious

during periods of unfavorable weather. 
Used alike on the large estate and by the 
home gardener; excellent for the market 
grower, shipper of car-lots, and the canner.
