TOMATOES 
Tomatoes are to be found in every garden. It is quite 
simple to grow your own plants. Sow tne seed in a hotbed, 
or in a shallow box in the house, allowing 5 or 6 weeks to 
produce plants large enough for setting outdoors. Sow in 
rows 3 in. apart and cover with % in. of soil. When plants 
are about 2 in. tall transplant to stand 4 in. apart in the 
row or into 3 in. pots. Plant outdoors when all danger of 
frost is past, in rows 4 ft. apart and 3 or 4 ft. apart in the 
row. One pkt. will produce about 300 plants; 1 oz. 2000 
plants; 2 ozs. will produce enough plants for one acre.

Earliana 
1097 Burpee’s 
Sunnybrook EarlianaO 
98 days. This is our own strain of 
Earliana which has been developed by 
crossing and selecting. Earliness, 
smoothness of fruit and compact¬ 
ness of vine growth have all been 
stressed in an effort to produce a 
Tomato that is really superior. 
Sunnybrook Earliana produces 
edible fruits several days earlier 
than other strains of Earliana, 
which is a decided advantage to 
those who grow for the early mar¬ 
ket. The compact habit of the 
plants permits of closer spacing in 
the field and a corresponding in¬ 
crease in yield. Plants of this type 
also give better protection to the 
fruits and prevent sunscald to a marked 
degree. Fruits are of medium size, scar¬ 
let red, solid, fleshy, and with a tart but 
agreeable flavor. Pkt. 10^; oz. 25^;
