TOMATO 
German, Llebesapfel. Italian, Porno d’oro. 
French, Tomato. Spanish, Tomates. 
Cultural Directions. —Tomatoes do best on warm light moder¬ 
ately rich soil, and success depends to a great extent on securing 
rapid and unchecked growth in the early part of the season. For 
early crop, sow seed in hot-bed in January, transplanting to cold 
frame when plants have at least four leaves, in order to strengthen the 
body of the plant, and transplan ring later to open ground, after all 
danger of frost is over, in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, and 3 feet apart in 
the rows. For later crop sow seed any time up to middle of June. 
Spray regularly, to prevent blight. For the private garden, trellising 
the v^es will prevent rotting, due to the fruit lying on the ground. 
One ounce will produce about 3000 plants. 
Bonny Best. —An early variety maturing a little later than 
Earliana. Fruit medium size, color bright scarlet, exceedingly 
smooth, handsome shape, ripens evenly close up to the stem. An 
excellent sort for growing under glass. It is very prolific and we 
recommend it as a first-class sort.

Break O’Day. — Developed by Dr. Fred J. Pritchard, senior 
Physiologist of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, and is a cross between 
Marglobe and Marvana, having the disease resistant quality of its 
parents. Vine is of open habit similar to Earliana but heavier in 
growth. Fruits are of the Marglobe type, deep globe shaped, solid- 
meaty, with few seeds and of light scarlet color. It ripens about five 
days earlier than Marglobe. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 35c.; lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50; 5 lbs., $16.25. 
Chalk’s Early Jewel. —For a crop to come in between Earliana

stock. ^ The fruit is of a bright scarlet color, ripening close to the 
stem, is smooth, and very solid. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; 34 lb., 85c.; lb., $3.00; 5 lbs., $13.75.

Earliana (Langdon’s). —We find this strain to be larger, thicker 
through, more meaty and of a deeper red color than other strains of 
Earliana. It is equally early, exceedingly productive and holds its 
size well throughout the season. The seed we offer was grown in New 
Jersey by one of our private crrowers.

Tomatoes; very productive. Fruit of fair size, smooth, almost globe 
shaped and produced in clusters in center of the plant; color bright 
scarlet. Plants have an open habit of growth, of the Earliana type. 
Pkt., lOc.; oz., 30c.; 34 lb., 85c.; lb., $3.00; 5 lbs., $13.75. 
Glovel. —This new tomato (developed by the U. S. D. A. and the 
Homestead Florida Agricultural Experiment Station from the same 
parentage as the Marglobe) is a tremendous yielder of large, solid, 
fancy fruits; globular in shape, scarlet red in color, but as the skin 
is transparent, the exterior has appearance of the (pink) Globe. It 
resembles the Marglobe in firmness of fruit, and is very resistant to 
Fusarium Wilt and Nailhead rust diseases. The vine growth is 
vigorous and distinctly more open than that of Marglobe,—a desir¬ 
able feature in sections where the Marglobe growth is too bunchy. 
It ripens a few days to a week earlier than the Marglobe. 
Grothen^s Red Globe 
Golden Queen.— -Fruit large and smooth. Color, a beautiful 
golden yellow, sometimes with a slight flush of red. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 40c.; 34 lb., $1.10; lb., $4.00.

large, solid, smooth fruit of a brilliant red color. It ripens evenly

C8.niioi*s •

Grothen’s Red Globe. —A new, early maturing, wilt resistant 
variety of the Break O’Day type. The vines have long stems like 
Break O’Day, but the leaflets are somewhat larger and more abun¬ 
dant and help to protect the fruit from sun scald. The fruits are 
globe shaped, as large or larger than Break O’Day and are of deeper 
scarlet color and free from objectionable yellow color about the stem 
end. 10 tons of fruit per acre is not an unusual yield for this variety. 
The crop matures about the same time as Break O’Day or just a 
few days after Earliana. 
Pkt., lOc.; oz., 40c.; 34 lb., $1.10; lb., $4.00; 5 lbs., $18.75.

more globe-shaped; very solid, productive and free fromoracking. 
Pkt., lOc.; oz., 40c.; 34 lb., $1.10; lb., $4.00; 6 lbs., $18.75. 
Improved Self-Topper. —Similar to Livingston’s Globe. The 
plants are of dwarfer habit and are less liable to wilt. The fruits 
are borne most profusely all over the vine and are less liable to nail- 
head rust, and is about five days earlier than Globe. They are 
perfectly smooth and solid, of a bright pinkish red color. It is an 
excellent shipping variety. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 45c.; H lb., $1.35; lb., $5.00; 5 lbs., $23.75.

Earliana, except the fru it is purple instead of scarlet, and the bulk of 
the crop ripens a little later.

Livingston’s Giobe. —A large purple-fruited variety of excellent 
quality. Fruit large, very smooth and matures earlier than most main 
crop sorts. The average tomato is very deep, almost globe-shaped, 
and very solid. It is one of the leading varieties grown throughout
