TOMATOES 
CULTURE—Plant seed in box inside or in hot¬ 
bed from February 15 to March 1. Transplant May 
10 to 20; rows 6 feet wide and 5 to 6 feet in rows; 
use li^ht, loamy soil, well cultivated and fertilized. 
•GILL’S SELECTED EARLIANA—For over 28 
years we have ^iven personal selection to this strain 
and believe we now have the largrest and smoothest 
first early tomato yet offered. The fruit is of bright 
deep red color, rather thick from stem to blossom 
and unusually solid. Owing to the fact that it is a 
shy seeder we must ask more for the seed than 
other sorts. Do not confuse this with the ordinary 
strains of Earliana. Reports from large growers 
claim this is the best strain of Earliana they have 
tried. Also reports from hot climates indicate it is 
unusually successful. One grower picking contin¬ 
uously from July until November; storing green 
ones then for December supplies. This is made 
possible by a minimum of cracked fruits. Pkt. 10c; 
Vi oz. 25c; oz. 75c; V4 lb. $2.00.
