Culture —This delicious vegetable is one of the most important of all garden 
products. The seed should be sown in a hotbed about the first week in March 
or latter part of February in drills 5 in. apart and 24 in. deep. When the 
plants are about 2 in. high they should be set into small pots, allowing a 
single plant to a pot. About the first of May the plants may be set out in the 
open ground in hills 3 ft. or 4 ft. apart each way (sufficient plants for a small 
garden may be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or flower pot. 
and placing it in a sunny window of the room or kitchen). Cultivate thor¬ 
oughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three workings 
of the soil should be very shallow (surface cultivation) or the crop may be 
badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the young plants 
EARLY VARIETIES 
M.-S. Earlv Wonder. This is the 11th year that we are offering this 
- — - wonderful extra early Tomato after several 
years of careful selection. The fruits are large for so early a variety, round 
or slightly flattened, deep scarlet red color, smooth, free from cracks and 
of fine quality. It produces ripe fruit as early as Earliana and continues 
to yield marketable fruit a longer period than the other first early varieties. 
The vines are vigorous and very productive. We consider this a valuable 
addition to the list of early Tomatoes for the market or home garden.

MAIN CROP TOMATOES 
MASTER MARGLOBE. See page 2. 
Marglobe. (Certified ). No other Tomato ever introduced has been 
- acclaimed as quickly as this remarkable variety which 
was originated with the Department of Agriculture in Washington. 
It is an all-purpose Tomato in every way, embodying all the good 
qualities looked for by the home gardener, the market grower, and 
the canner. It is particularly valuable for shipping and has proven 
to be decidedly disease-resistant, particularly against Fusarium 
Wilt and Nail-head Rust. The plants are vigorous and very pro¬ 
ductive, bearing a wonderful crop of uniformly globe-shaped, deep 
scarlet, large fruits. Young fruits have a tendency to be of a some¬ 
what oval shape. The skin is smooth and evenly colored from stem 
to blossom end. The interior of the fruits is solid, meaty, and juicy. 
The flavor of the bright red flesh is delicious. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., 
24 lb. $1.25, lb. $3.50. 
Marglobe. Regular stock. Pkt. 10c., oz. 25c., 24 lb. 75c., lb. $2.50. 
M.-S. BIG CHIEF. A grand main crop Tomato of the very highest 
quality. It produces an abundance of large, handsome red 
fruit which ripens clean to the stem and will bear heavily from the 
early part of July until frost. It is a very shy seeder. The meat is 
deliciously juicy and free from acid. It is rare to see an ill-shaped 
fruit on a M.-S. Big Chief vine. Pkt. 10c., 24 oz. 25c., oz. 40c., 
24 lb. $1.50, lb. $5.00.

Rutgers (Certified). The Rutgers Tomato was developed and intro¬ 
duced by Lyman G. Schermerhorn of the New Jersey Agricultural 
Experiment Station. The fruits are medium to large, similar in shape 
to Marglobe, except that it is more flattened at the stem end. It 
has thick outer and inner walls, with very small seed cavities, pro¬ 
ducing very few seeds. The flesh is firm and red. The ripening be¬ 
gins at the center so that when the fruits are red on the outside they 
are well colored throughout. It ripens about the same time as Mar¬ 
globe and is about the same size. It is adapted for canning, market 
and home garden and is particularly suited for the manufacture 
of a fine flavored, highly colored juice. Pkt. 15c., oz. 40c., 24 lb. 
$1.10, lb. $4.00. 
Market Champion. A fine large red Tomato that lives up to its 
name of being a Market Champion. Pkt. 10c., oz. 35c., 24 lb. 
$1.25, lb. $4.50. 
Ponderosa. A purple fruited Tomato of large size. Vine vigorous. 
Fruit very solid, fairly smooth and considered very good quality, 
especially by those who prefer a Tomato quite free from acid. 
This variety is more suitable for home use than for the market. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c., 24 lb. $1.60, lb. $6.00. 
Beefsteak. It resembles Ponderosa in many ways, except that the 
fruits are a rich scarlet-red color. It is juicy, solid, and has a rich 
sub-acid flavor. Grown extensively by home gardeners. Pkt. 15c., 
24 oz. 35c., oz. 55c. 
Indiana Greater Baltimore Tomato. An improved strain of 
Greater Baltimore. Vine large, vigorous, somewhat open. Fruits

desirable for canners and market gardeners. Wilt-resistant, 83 days 
from setting plants to marketable fruit. Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c.,

PENN STATE. The foliage covers the fruit well, which is borne in 
clusters from three to ten to the plant. Evenly colored a rich scar¬ 
let, free from blemishes. It is extremely early and wonderfully 
prolific. In shape it is almost spherical, the interior meat is dark 
red with very little core and very few seeds. It produces a tre¬ 
mendous yield of quality fruit at the first picking. Pkt. 15c., 
2 pkts. 25c., 24 oz. $1.00, oz. $1.85, 2 ozs. $3.50 , 24 lb. $6.00,

Qxheai't, A newer variety which positively is the largest To- 
- mato ever introduced. The skin is purplish scar¬ 
let. It is smooth and evenly colored. The individual Tomatoes 
will weigh as much as 124 lbs. each. The oxheart shape of the 
fruits is most distinct. They are extremely solid and have few 
seed cells, which accounts for their enormous weight. Pkt. 
10c., 24 oz. 30c., oz. 50c., 24 lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00.
