CULTURE.—Six or eight weeks before frost is over plant one-quarter inch deep in hot-beds or shallow boxes, 
and when they have made four leaves transplant to promote root growth. Expose as much as possible to harden 
them, so that they will become strong and stocky, but do not allow the growth to be checked. Transplant 3 to 4 
feet apart in a light, warm soil, and shade them a few days until well rooted. Spray with bordeaux mixture to pre¬ 
vent disease, and in it put arsenate of lead to kill Insects. A 5-8-5 fertilizer gives the biggest yield. Do not plant 
in an old seed bed. 
1 ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre.

cf IN QUALITY , . . 
in SIZE —There is no tomato 
IN PRODUCTIVENESS that can c°l“P are with 
. Brimmer. Although it 
is the largest and most productive of all tomatoes, 
this statement refers particularly to the quality, 
flavor and meatiness of the fruits that are without 
the acidity so objectionable in some varieties. 
Quality — In tlle breeding of our Brimmer, quality 
^ •'is out first consideration. The flavor is de¬ 
licious and they are so free of acid that they may 
be eaten with impunity by those to whom acid to¬ 
matoes bring distress. For slicing, no tomato can 
compare with Brimmer. The slices are usually 
large enough to fill an ordinary salad dish. 
[ Size and Weiuht —Brimmers measuring 
u e 5 lu inches in circumf erei 
15 to 16 
snce, and 
weighing 2*4 pounds or more, are not at all un¬ 
usual. They are all meat, have very few seeds and 
no core. 
—Although a few days later than 
rroaucuvenesi the very early var i e ties, the enor¬ 
mous size and remarkable yield more than make up 
for the few days difference in earliness. The vines 
bear a tremendous load of fruits right up to frost, 
and the fruits are large till the end of the season. 
Brimmer not only makes big tomatoes, but a lot of 
them.

A real extra-early tomato, one 
that will make fruits of good 
size, solid and of good 
quality. Unfortunate¬ 
ly, many Earliana 
stocks produce rough 
and irregular fruits. 
Every year our plant¬

from plants that bear 
only perfect, smooth, 
extra early tomatoes, 
and is as near perfect, 
will bear as early and 
as many fruits as any
