CUIiTURS.—Six or eight weeks before frost is over plant one-quarter inch deep in hot-heds or shallow boxes, 
and when they have made four leaves transplant to promote root growth. Expose as much as possible to harden 
them, so that they will become strong and stocky, but do not aUow the growth to be checked. Transplant 3 to 4 
feet apart in a light, warm soil, and shade them a few days until well rooted. Spray with bordeaux mixture to pre¬ 
vent disease, and in it put arsenate of lead to kill insects. A 5-8-5 fertilizer gives the biggest yield. Do not plant 
in an old seed bed. mi i i 
1 ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre. 
No. 437 Wood’s Famous 
Brimmer Tomato [110 Days] 
IN QUALITY —There is no tomato that can com- 
IN SIZE pare with Brimmer. Although it is 
IN PRODUCTIVENESS the largest and most productive of 
all tomatoes, this statement refers particularly to the quality, 
flavor and meatiness of the fruits that are without the acidity 
so objectionable in some varieties. 
Oualitv —of Brimmer, quality is our first 
consideration. The flavor is delicious and they are so 
free of acid that they may be eaten with impunity by those to 
whom acid tomatoes bring distress. Por slicing, no tomato can 
compare with Brimmer. The slices are usually large enough to 
fill an ordinary salad dish. 
Size and Weiuhl —Brimmers measuring 15 to 16 inches in cir- 
“ cumference, and weighing pounds or more, 
are not at all unusuaL They are all meat, have very few seeds 
and no core. 
Productiveness —Although a few days later than the very early 
varieties, the enormous size and remarkable 
irield more than make up for the few days difference in earliness. 
The vines bear a tremendous load of fruits right up to frost, 
and the fruits are large till the end of the season. Brimmer 
not only makes big tomatoes, but a lot of them. 
How to Grow Brimmers —make the biggest tomatoes and 
the largest yield, train to a single 
stem, tie the vines up to strong five-foot stakes; this gives ample 
room for development, plenty of sunlight, holds them off the 
ground and enables the vines to continue to yield a constant 
supply right up to frost.
