Tomato 
Liebesapfel — Tomatoes—Pomodoro 
Pkts. any variety Tomato 
10c. each, except where noted. 
To obtain fruit very early, sow the seeds in greenhouse during 
February or March, or in hotbed when season has sufficiently 
advanced. In about five weeks plants should be transplanted to 
another hotbed, until about the middle of May, when they may 
be put into the ground in hills, about four feet apart each way. 
The richer the soil the ranker will be the growth of the vines, but 
an ordinary warm, light soil, with fine, well-rotted manure in the 
hill, and a sunny location, will produce the more handsome and 
plentiful fruit. 
Earliana. Extra early, 
fruits medium in size, 
bright red. Vines usually 
through bearing or dead by 
September first. The most 
important feature of Earli¬ 
ana is its extreme earliness, 
with as firm smooth fruits 
as can be had, without sac¬ 
rificing this feature. The 
seed we offer is a fine 
strain. It has been pro¬ 
duced with care to com¬ 
bine these features to a 
remarkable extent. Per oz., 
35c.; V\-lb., $1.00; lb., 
$3.50. 
Earliana Special. A very 
superior strain, on which 
has been spent much time 
in individual plant selec¬ 
tion, resulting in greater 
uniformity, smoothness and productiveness than in any other strain we have ever seen. It is un¬ 
doubtedly profitable for market growers to use such seed when obtainable. Per pkt., 15c.; oz., 70c.; 
*4-lb., $2.25; lb., $7.50. 
Pritchard. (New). A great advance in the early class. These fruits ripen just after the first Earliana 
and with Bonny Best. A cross between Marglobe and Cooper’s Special by the late Dr. F. J. Pritchard. 
Fruits good size, intense scarlet and do not turn yellow or blister; similar in structure to Marglobe, 
solid, almost no core, small seed pockets; excellent in appearance and quality. The plants are dis¬ 
ease-resistant and produce unusually heavy crops. The Pritchard is valuable for both market and 
home use. Per oz., 40c.; \4-\b., $1.20; lb., $4.00. 
Scarlet Dawn. A cross of Clark’s Early and Marglobe; earlier in season than either parent. Fruits 
medium-large with thick wall structure, globular, smooth, bright scarlet; exceptionally attractive. High¬ 
ly desirable for home garden, market or canning. Per oz., 65c.; %-lb. t $2.00; lb., $7.00. 
Bonny Best. An early, round, smooth, bright scarlet Tomato, similar to Chalk’s Early Jewel; two or 
three days earlier and slightly smaller, producing especially well the early clusters of three to five at¬ 
tractive, solid fruits. Per oz., 35c.; ^4-lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50.
