417—NICHOLSON’S BREAK O’DAY. R©- 
■<iuiree 70 days. We have received more compli¬ 
mentary letters from our customers on this 
tomato than any w© have ever handled. The 
fruits are large smooth, red, heavily meated 
and globular in shape. It is as early as 
Blarliana, 10 to 12 days earlier than Marglobe, 
and a heavier yielder than either. Nicholson’s 
Break O’Day is an excellent shipper. All 
tests have proven that the fruits very seldom 
crack and are not affected by sun scald; vines 
are practically free from blossom-end rot. and 
even when planted with other sorts that would 
be affected as much as 90 per cent. The open 
spreading vine with small leaves is wilt 
resistant and sets fruits freely. Pkt., 10c;

73 days. A cross between Marglobe and 
Cooper’s Special; it inherited the good qual¬

Vines are medium, dense, erect and self-top- 
ping, Especially bred up for a green wrap, 
ped tomato, also an excellent canner and it 
ripens well up to the .stem end. It has a 
tendency to set a rather large number of 
fruits. It therefore requires either a natur¬ 
ally fertile soil or one well fertilized in order 
to size up the fruit properly and produce the 
maximum quantity of fruit per vine. Pkt-,

YOUR HOBBY 
The production of Vegetables 
is an achievement in which any¬ 
one may derive pleasure and 
satisfaction. When thought is 
given to the Vegetable Garden 
as a source of exercise, we will 
say that there are more doctors 
and other professional men 
planting home gardens than any 
other class of men. 
A doctor knows the value of 
such exercise and prefers it to 
golf and other methods of exer¬ 
cising. 
If you do not want to grow 
old in your younger days, it will 
pay you to make gardening your 
hobby.
