TOMATO 
^ oz. to 100 ft., 2 oz. per acre. 
Culture. Sow early in hotbeds, and as soon as they have four 
leaves transplant into shallow laoxes. Harden off, and set out 
as soon as danger of frost is past. An ounce of seed will pro¬ 
duce 3000 to 4000 plants. 
If blight appears use “Bordeaux,” but it is better to use as a 
preventive before blight strikes the plant, and is a control 
measure for flea beetles, spraying the under side of foliage. 
The newer types of hardy, prolific tomatoes are better 
adapted to the cool coast climate than the older sorts; splendid 
crops are now being grown where heretofore it was thought 
tomatoes would not thrive. 
The New Marglobe Tomato. This new rust resisting variety 
developed by the United States Department of Agriculture

tomato diseases. A scarlet variety ripening well up to the 
stem, of perfect globe shape and splendid quality. The vines 
are strong and vigorous and Very productive. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 35c;

out of the ground and is of very rapid growth. Is delicate and

oblong shaped, about 20 inches long, 12 inches through, skin 
mottled, thin brittle rind, therefore not a good shipper. The 
flesh is rich and deliciously sweet.

variety to plant for home use or near-by markets. The fruits 
are very attractive, oblong in form, and have a glossy dark

close to it. The color of the flesh is a beautiful bright scarlet.

placed close to the rind. The melons average 18 to 20 inches 
in length by 10 to 12 inches in diameter.
