THE «PRITCHARD”--THE NEW POPULAR VARIETY 
FORD’S SELECT TOMATO SEED 
Our list is comprised of the very best of the older and newer varieties. It is our aim to keep our 
list down to the very best varieties. Tomato seed is one of our specialties and for this reason we are 
satisfied with none but the best seed, of well tested varieties. 
CULTURE—Sow seed in hotbed in 
March or April, in rows 3 inches apart, 
covering: the seed %-inch deep. Water 
with quite warm water. When the 
plants are 2 inches high,' transplant into 
fiats 2 to 4 inches apart, or into 3 or 
4 in. pots. Set in open ground when 
all danger of frost is over, in rows 4 
to 5 feet apart and 3 feet apart in 
the row. Sprinkle a handful of ground 
bone in each hole before setting the 
plant. Tomatoes may be tied up to 
stakes with soft twine, and for the 
home-garden it is a good plan as the 
plants may be set closer together than 
if allowed to run at random.
