A & M First Early 
Af/M Tire* FtkIw 94 days. An A & M introduction that has 
rirsr cany (-, een leading early variety since 1909 
when it was introduced. Extensively grown in the early producing sec¬ 
tions such as Imperial Valley, Coachella Valley, Salt River Valley of 
Arizona, and other similar districts. It is a most desirable tomato for 
the shiDper of early tomatoes. It is uniform in size, smooth, in¬ 
clined to globe shape, scarlet, medium in size, and borne in clusters. 
Being an early variety a little smoothness of fruit is sacrificed for 
earliness, however, it is the smoothest of its class. We cannot rec¬ 
ommend it too highly. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 60c) (14 lb. $2.00) (lb. $6.00)

TOMATOES 
WRITE FOR QUANTITY PRICES 
2 ozs. seed per acre planted in seed bed; 1 lb. to acre field 
planted; 1 oz. seed for 2,000 plants. 
r ii. The best soil for tomatoes is a well-manured light sandy 
V*UITUre | oam , however, most of our California soils are satisfac¬ 
tory. Be sure to keep the plants growing rapidly with a vigorous and 
unchecked growth during the early part of the season. 
The ground should be well prepared and ground where a cover 
crop has been sown through the winter months and turned under will 
probably show best results. 
Transplant from the seed bed in rows 4 to 6 feet apart and 3 to 
6 feet apart in the rows according to the variety. The varieties of 
upright growth can be spaced closer than the vining types. 
Plant deep so that the roots may be in the cool earth as the heat 
of the sun, if planted shallow, will cause the plants to suffer, which 
may cause loss of the plants. 
Root blight may very often be prevented by spraying frequently 
with Bordeaux Mixture, beginning when the plants are young and 
continuing throughout the season. A cup full of the liquid Bordo 
poured around the stem of the plant where it will soak down to the 
root system is also effective. It is also a good plan to dip the roots 
in a solution of Bordeaux Mixture when transplanting. Blight may 
often be prevented, but it is difficult to cure. 
The time of planting and variety depend upon your local market, 
soil and climatic conditions, and the purpose for which they are 
grown. Number of days to maturity is from planting of seeds in beds.

earlier, and bring premium prices. Prices—1,000 for $10.25; 250
