Twenty-one tons of ripe tomatoes per acre was the record yield from our seed field of Seneca Marglobe. Even though this is the last 
picking, the vines are still thick and healthy. 
TOMATOES 
1 oz. will produce 2000 plants 
Sow inside about March 15th. Transplant once and 
set in field as soon as danger of frost is past, 4 feet by 
4 feet. Good results for late crop are obtained by sow¬ 
ing seed thinly in outside beds about April 20th and 
covering with cheese or tobacco cloth. These plants 
are transplanted direct to field.

Pritchard: 75 days. Pritchard is a heavy yielding 
midseason variety. The flesh is very solid, brilliant 
red and of good quality. The globular fruits color 
evenly over the whole surface clear up to the stem.

we feel it needs a strong soil with plenty of fertility 
if it is to give satisfactory results. Pkt. 10 cts.; %
