Culture Start 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 in. 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 3000 plants, enough 
for half an acre. 
Listed in approximate order of maturity.

Master Marglobe. The finest strain of Marglobe 
in existence, judging from trials. It has been 
especially bred to obtain neatly 100% of perfectly 
shaped fruits, slightly deeper from stem to 
blossom than it is thick from side to side. This 
means small loss from ‘“‘blossom end scar’ and 
from “flats”. The interior has exceptionally 
small seed cavities, the fruit unusually heavy and 
firm, and a beautiful scarlet color. It has shown 
itself, during 1935, to be some 40% more produc- 
tive than other strains. Marglobe is almost 100% 
resistant to blight and nailhead rust. Pkt., 15¢; 
0z., 60c; 14 lb., $2.003 1 lb., $6.50.
