TOMATO EARUANA (66 days) 
To get a heavy crop of high quality tomatoes ahead of 
others, you must grow Earliana in heavily manured ground. 
Use well rotted manure and prepare your ground in the fall 
whenever possible. You must stake the plants, because when 
plants are left laying on the ground the fruit develops a green 
spot where it touches the ground. Do not use manure for 
other varieties of tomatoes except Bonny Best and Break O’ 
Day. Both these varieties do much better when grown on 
manured ground. Otherwise the rule is for all tomatoes: no 
fresh manure. Pkt. lOc; oz. 30c; lb. S3.00. 
GROTHEN’S GLOBE (68 days)—Same type but earlier than 
Break O’ Day. The fruits are globe shaped, larger than Break 
O’ Day, of positive bright scarlet color, free from objection¬ 
able yellow color about the stem end, firm, solid; interior 
ripens slowly. Vines somewhat open of upright growth with 
dense foliage protecting the fruit from sun scold. Does well 
everywhere, especially in the south where it is very popular 
for green-wrap shipping. Wilt resistant and heavily pro¬ 
ductive. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; lb. $6.00. 
Greenhouse Tomatoes 
MICHIGAN” FORCING—Fruit red in color, globular when 
ripe, smooth, firm, averaging 4-5 ounces, borne in clusters of 
5 to 11 fruits. Self pollinating, wilt resisting, vigorous in 
growth, immensely productive even under poor light condi¬ 
tions. Best results are obtained when 4l^ to 5 square feet are 
allowed each plant. Originated at Michigan State College.

KONDYNE RED—Fruits of medium size, globular, solid, 
smooth, bright scarlet. Extra early and very heavily pro¬ 
ductive. Favorite in England for growing in greenhouses. 
Pkt. 15c; oz. 50c; lb. $8.00. 
HUNDREDFOLD—Originated in England where it is consid¬ 
ered the King of forcing tomatoes. The fruits are medium in 
size, very uniform and of perfect globular shape so that in 
grading for the market very little sorting is required. Color 
rich bright red. Heavily productive, largely owing to the fact 
that the plants are exceptionally short-jointed so that where 
most varieties produce 6 trusses of fruit. Hundredfold will 
develop 8 trusses on the same height of plant. Pkt. 30c; oz. 
$2.50. 
GULF STATE FORCING (77 days)—If your market will ac¬

State. Gulf State produces a tremendous crop. Fruit glob¬ 
ular, smooth, purplish-pink, free from cracking, thick skin¬ 
ned and very solid. Pkt. 15c; oz. $1.00. 
TOMATO CRACKERJACK (66 days) 
A UBEAT TAKIETI FOB BBEENHOIIBE F0BC1N6 
The fruit is solid, smooth, globe shaped, bright red and 
there is no waste, every tomato is saleable. Medium in 
size, just right as the grocers of our city put it. It takes 
3 to 5 Crackerjacks to a pound, for this reason grocers 
prefer Crackerjack over the big sized tomatoes which are so 
hard to weigh unless cut in pieces. Nobody wants cut toma¬ 
toes, Crackerjack weighing without cutting is the sort desired. 
Crackerjack is a strongly self pollenizing variety, every bloom 
is sure fruit which is produced in bunches of 6 to 10 every 6 
inches of a plant growth. Once it starts to turn in color it 
ripens quickly and evenly to the core, Crackerjack will yield 
bigger sized fruit if grown 10 degrees cooler than is required 
for other tomatoes. (Night temperature of 65 deg.) 
One of our customers writes: I have been growing 
Crackerjack Tomato for the past four years with splendid 
results, getting on the whole about 80% of what we term 48 
lbs. pack, that is that many tomatoes to a 10 pound box, 
which brings the highest price in our markets, especially 
when tomatoes retail for 40 or 50 cents per lb. We have 
grown tomatoes for the past 20 years—Comet and Sutton’s 
Best—but Crackerjack skins either kind. Price: Pkt. 15c; 
% oz. 30c; oz. $2.00. 
IMPROYED CRACKERJACK—Larger in size than the orig¬ 
inal strain, averaging 3 to 4 fruits to a pound. Color red, 
skin tough, making it a first class shipper and keeper. Best 
results are obtained when the plant is trimmed to about 6 
feet. Pkt. 15c; Ys oz. 30c; oz. $2.00.
