Start your tomato crop right with PIEDMONT FIELD- 
GROWN PLANTS. Ready any time between April 15th and 
June 15th. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS: Tomatoes do well on a wide variety 
of soils, and the use of fertilizer will depend on the soil. For early 
tomatoes set our field grown plants in 314 foot rows, 2 feet apart as 
soon as danger of frost is over. For earlier setting they may be pro¬ 
tected in the field with “hot-caps.” For earliest fruitings, pinch off all 
side shoots, and tie the single stem to a stake. For ordinary field crop, 
set plants 4 feet each way in checks and cultivate both ways. 
VARIETIES 
EARLIANA. The Earliana is 
probably the earliest tomato 
grown, and is very popular for 
early market. The fruit is deep 
scarlet, medium to large size, and 
smooth for an early tomato. 
BONNY BEST. A fine variety- 
for early market and home gar- Rutgers 
den. Vines are vigorous and fruit bright scarlet in color, and uniform 
in ripening. 
PRITCHARD OR SCARLET TOPPER. A wilt resistant variety 
similar to the Marglobe but earlier. It is disease resistant and very 
productive. The fruit is scarlet, large, smooth and globular in shape. 
MARGLOBE. Wilt resistant tomato developed by U. S. Department 
of Agriculture. Fruit medium size, smooth and solid; globe shape, 
scarlet color, good shipper. Has become very popular for main crop. 
RUTGERS. A new wilt resistant variety rapidly coming into favor 
in the eastern canning sections. Similar to the Marglobe in many 
characteristics, it produces slightly larger fruit and more foliage. 
Scarlet in color, it ripens from the inside out. 
GREATER BALTIMORE. A mid-season variety, very popular for 
main crop and canning. Probably more of this variety used by large 
canners than any other variety. Very dependable, producing extra 
heavy crop of large firm tomatoes.
