Xp/Ki f. K | 94 days. An A&M introduction that has 
rirsr cany been-the leading early variety since 1909 
when it was introduced. Extensively grown in the early producing sec¬ 
tions such as Imperial Valley, Coachella Valley, Salt River Valley of 
Arizona, and other similar districts. It is a most desirable tomato for 
the shipper of early tomatoes. It is uniform in size, smooth, in¬ 
clined to globe shape, scarlet, medium in size, and borne in clusters. 
Being an early variety a little smoothness of fruit is sacrificed for 
earliness, however, it is the smoothest of its class. We cannot rec¬ 
ommend it too highly. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 60c) (14 lb. $2.00) (lb. $6.00)

2 ozs. seed per acre planted in seed bed; 1 lb. 
to acre field planted; 1 oz. seed for 2,000 plants. 
Culture "^ e sod ^ 0r ^ omat ’ oes ' s a w ell- 
manured light sandy loam, however, most 
of our California soils are satisfactory. Be sure to keep 
the plants growing rapidly with a vigorous and un¬ 
checked growth during the early part of the season. 
The ground should be well prepared and ground 
where a cover crop has been sown through the winter 
months and turned under will probably show best 
results. 
Transplant from the seed bed in rows 4 to 6 feet 
apart and 3 to 6 feet apart in the rows according to 
the variety. The varieties of upright growth can be 
spaced closer than the vining types. 
Plant deep so that the roots may be in the cool 
earth as the heat of the sun, if planted shallow, will 
cause the plants to suffer, which may cause loss of 
the plants. 
Root blight may very often be prevented by spraying frequently 
with Bordeaux Mixture, beginning when the plants are young and 
continuing throughout the season. A cup full of the liquid Bordo 
poured around the stem of the plant where it will soak down to the 
root system is also effective. It is also a good plan to dip the roots 
in a solution of Bordeaux Mixture when transplanting. Blight may 
often be prevented, but it is difficult to cure. 
The time of planting and variety depend upon your local market, 
soil and climatic conditions, and the purpose for which they are 
grown. Number of days to maturity is from planting of seeds in beds.
