BUCHANAN’S TOMATO SEEDS 
CULTURE—Six or eight weeks before frost is over, sow Vi inch deep in 
hot-beds, in pots or shallow boxes in the house, and when they have made 
4 leaves, transplant to boxes or pots to promote root growth. Expose as 
much as possible to harden them so that, when set out in the open ground, 
they will be strong and stocky, but do not allow the growth to be checked. 
Transplant 8 to 4 feet apart in a light, warm soil, and shade them a few 
days until they are well rooted. One ounce makes about 1,600 plants; 
4 ounces will make plants for an acre. 
FOR FIELD PLANTING—Set plants 3 feet apart in rows 4 feet apart, 
require 3,600 plants to acre. 
Maturity estimated from time plants set in field.

392—GREATER BALTIMORE (Special Certified Stock)—83 days, 
scarlet fruit. Mid-season variety of great merit. Red in color, 
very heavy, due to extreme firmness and very thick meat. The 
fruit ripens evenly and is free from ridges and cracks, making it 
one of the best canning Tomatoes in existence. It is dependable, 
producing crops under bad weather and soil conditions where 
many would fail, and is one of the biggest croppers, even out- 
yielding Stone, to which it is similar. This is a variety the com¬ 
mercial trade demands for unusually heavy yields of solid, firm, 
meaty fruit for canning. It is also very well suited for home 
gardens and markets because of its attractive appearance. Our 
special certified seed insures to you the very finest crops your 
soil and season will allow.

381—PONDEROSA (88 days)—Fruits are very large, purplish 
crimson in color, solid, meaty, and very sweet. Our selected 
strain of Ponderosa, while not nearly so fine a Tomato as 
Buchanan Brimmer, is less rough and ribbed than the ordi¬ 
nary Ponderosa and is quite popular. It makes fine slices and 
is suited only to home use and local market.

387— A—OXHEART (90 days)—This extraordinary new pink¬ 
ish fruited, main crop Tomato has really large, bulg¬ 
ing fruits which taper almost to a point. The cell structure is 
broken so fruits are heavy and very solid; setting in clusters of 
3 to 7. Vine growth is open and spreading; yield is quite heavy. 
There are comparatively few seeds in this solid and beautifully 
shaped variety. It commands a premium on most retail markets.

388— LIVINGSTON GLOBE (Purplish Pink) (84 days) — A 
tomato of outstanding merit that ripens just after the very 
early kinds. Always smooth, firm fleshed, and has but few 
seeds. Very productive; the plants have many short joints 
at which clusters of fruits are formed; they are borne freely 
all over the vine. The globe shape allows more slices from 
each fruit than other varieties. A remarkably good keeper, 
and even when picked quite green, it ships well and colors 
up handsomely.

stand shipment very well. Acme is also used for the home 
garden.

lar in shape, a little deeper red than other strains of Marglobe,

tive. We cannot say too much for our strain of Marglobes.
