Early Bison 
Early Strains of 
Solid, Meaty TOMATOES 
CULTURE— S tart your early tomato plants indoors, allowing 4 to 6 weeks to produce plants for 
setting out. Sow the seed in February or March in hot beds or in shallow boxes in the house, in rows 
4 to 6 inches apart and half an inch deep. When the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant into 
3-inch pots or shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. Transplant in the open ground when all danger 
of frost is past, 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Cultivate frequently. An ounce will produce about 2000 
plants. 
154—EXTRA EARLY BISON 
This tomato is of an exceptional value in 
Montana because it is extremely early and 
will do well with a limited amount of water. 
Of medium size and somewhat flatter than 
Earliana. Bison grows on a compact plant of 
self-pruning type. As much as 40 lbs. of ripe 
fruit is produced from one plant. Tomatoes are 
not uniform enough to be classed as good 
market variety, but for the home garden it 
cannot be beat. Seed supply very limited.

152—NEW PENN STATE 
This fine quality tomato was developed a 
few years ago by the Pennsylvania State 
College of Agriculture. It is one of the most 
popular that we have. Plants are of the self¬ 
topping type; short, thick vines; medium size 
fruits borne in clusters of four to six; are very 
solid and of an especially good flavor. The 
most remarkable thing about this tomato is 
the way in which it produces. No other variety 
will give you as much fruit per plant as Penn 
State. Pkt., 10c; Yz oz., 45c; oz., 80c.
