sort. It is a little later than Stone, fully one-third larger, and 
just as smooth and solid. It is nearly solid flesh, having very few 
seeds, is of a good red color, ripens up to the stem. Anyone want¬ 
ing a strictly large, fancy red tomato will get it by plantmg this

Cultural Directions—For the re^lar crop, sow the early kinds in 
July and August, the later sorts during August and the salad varieties 
during August or September. Sow either broadcast or in drills two 
feet apart, and when well up, thin out to prevent overcrowding. 
Rutabagas should be sown in July or early in August and earthed up 
as they grow. 
One ounce sows 100 feet of drill: lbs. sows one acre in drills; 
2 lbs. one acre broadcast; sow salad varieties 3 lbs. per acre.
