Note —Prices listed are postpaid. 
CULTURE about September 
winter crop in frostless belts, or in 
early spring for summer crop. Growth must never be 
checked or a shortened fruit crop will result. When 
the plants are two or three inches high, thin them out 
and set in pots or in another bed, to give them room 
and make them “stocky.” When five or six inches 
high, if the weather be warm and settled, transplant 
them to open ground, selecting a rainy day if possi¬ 
ble; in the absence of rain, water and protect till 
well rooted. Set plants four feet apart each way. 
One ounce of seed will produce 3000 plants.

SOMETHING NEW 
IN TOMATOES 
pcDDiMCCC The fruit is an averag< 
rcrriiNCSC. length of about 2 to 21^ 
> G 
igth of about 2 to 2 Vz 
inches, elongated, and resembles a pep¬ 
per. Color is a bright crimson. This is 
a novelty that we feel will find a definite 
place not only as a home garden tomato 
but as a commercial item. It is a won¬ 
derful keeper and has a most attractive 
appearance. The flesh is so firm that 
one feels that it has some pepper blood 
in the plant. When cooked it makes a 
marvelous stew and for salads it is un¬ 
surpassed. To market gardeners we ad¬ 
vise trying this out this year; to home 
growers, plant it by all means. Per 
packet 15c; oz. $1.20; Vi lb. $4.00; 1 lb. 
$12.00.
