No garden should be without its quota of Tomatoes. They re¬ 
quire little care and yield heavily in a small space. No vegetable 
can be put to more uses, cooked or in salads', than Tomatoes. They 
are rich in vitamins, and valuable as an appetizing dish in many 
ways. Our Tomato seed is produced under the supervision of ex¬ 
perienced, and qualified seed-breeders; each individual type is rig¬ 
idly selected and bred for earliness, productivity,, and uniformity 
in size, shape, and color. 
Maturity AatPc ,>iven are from thp nf 
Culture. For early fruit, sow thinly 
in a hotbed or indoors in shallow 
boxes. Harden plants by exposing to 
the air occasionally. In about 6 weeks 
the plants will be ready to set out, 
provided danger of frost is over. The 
rows should be 4 to 6 feet apart and 
the plants about 3 feet apart in the 
row, or 2 feet in row if staked. Cul¬ 
tivate as long as the vines will per¬ 
mit. Tomatoes are much improved in 
appearance and quality, when trained 
to stakes. The usual method is to set 
one strong plant to a 6- or 6-foot 
stake, tying the plant up and 
pruning it quite freely as the 
vine advances in 
growth. One ounce 
will produce 1.500 
plants; 4 to 6 
ounces will furnish 
sufficient plants for 
an acre.

572 FAMOUS BRIMMER TOMATO 
The Largest of Them All 
90 days. Grips and holds the admiration of all who 
grow it because of it.s magnificent size and delicious 
flavor. Acclaimed by many as the “Greatest Tomato 
in the ‘World,” with none to compare to it in size, 
weight, solidity, quality, or productiveness. The 
enormous, well-shaped, purplish pink fruits measure 
15 to 18 inches in circumference, and weigh 21^ to 3 
pounds or more. They are all meaty, have very few 
seeds, and no core. The flavor is appealingly delicate, 
mild, and remarkably free from acidity. For slicing, 
no Tomato can compare with it. Pkt. lOc; oz.

90 days. Never before have we 
grown a Tomato that is more beauti¬ 
ful or better flavored. The color is 
brilliant scarlet and the skin is so 
smooth as to give the fruits a pol¬ 
ished appearance. It is not uncom¬ 
mon to see vines carrying fruits weigh¬ 
ing from 2 to 3 pounds each. The 
oxheart shape of the fruits is most 
distinct. Extremely solid and have few 
seed-cells, which accounts for the 
enormous weight, the seed cavities 
having given way to a solid mass of 
meaty, succulent flesh. Pkt. lOc; %
