POPULAR TOMATOES - for COOKING, SALADS and JUICE 
417—-NICHOLSON’S BREAK O’DAY. 
Requires 70 days. We have received more 
complimentary letters from our customers 
on this tomato than any we have ever 
handled. The fruits are large smooth, red, 
heavily meated and globular in shape. It is as 
early as Earliana, 10 to 12 days earlier than 
Marglobe, and a heavier yielder than either. 
Nicholson’s Break O’Day is an excellent ship- 
per. All tests have proven that the fruits very 
seldom crack and are not affected by sun scald; 
vines are practically free from blossom-end 
rot, and even when planted with other sorts 
that would be affected as much as 90 per cent. 
The open spreading vine with small leaves is 
wilt resistant and sets fruits freely. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 35c; %4 Ib., $1.00; Ib., $3.50; 5 Ibs., $15.75, 
postpaid. Please ask for prices in larger quan- 
tities. 
398—PRITCHARD OR SCARLET TOPPER. 
Requires 73 days. A cross between Marglobe and 
Cooper’s Special; it inherited the good qual- 
ities of both parents. It is early, with large, 
smooth, meaty, very red, globular-shape fruit. 
Vines are medium, dense, erect and self-top- 
ping. Especially bred up for a green wrap- 
ped tomato, also an excellent canner and it 
ripens well up to the stem end. It has a 
tendency to set a rather large number of 
fruits. It therefore requires either a natu- 
rally fertile soil or one well fertilized in order 
to size up the fruit properly and produce the 
maximum quantity of fruit per vine. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 40c; % Ib., $1.25; Ib., $4.00, post- 
paid. Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
397—JUNE PINK TOMATO. Requires 69 
days. It is a beautiful purplish pink Tomato 
similar to the popular Earliana in growth of 
vine, shape and size of fruits. A valuable 
variety for the market gardeners who want a 
very early Tomato. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; %4 Ib., 
$1.00; Ib., $3.50; 5 Ibs., $15.00, postpaid. Not

415—JOHN BAER. Requires 70 days. A 
hardy and very prolific extra early variety. 
The fruits are of large size, scarlet in color, 
nearly round, smooth, firm and of excellent 
quality. One of the first varieties to ripen, 
and continues to bear a long time. A very 
desirable sort for gardeners, shippers and 
canners, and equally desirable to grow for 
home use. Pkt., 5c; 0z., 25c; %4 lb., 75c; Ib., 
$2.50; 5 Ibs., $10.00, pestpaid. Not prepaid,

A FEW GARDEN HINTS 
1. Select garden plot with good soil 
—open to sunshine and on slope to 
south where possible. Locate near 
kitchen for convenience. 
2. Run rows north and south for 
ample sunshine. 
3. Lay out garden with an idea to 
produce a neat and pleasing effect to 
the eye—also allow walking space for 
accessibility to various parts of garden. 
4. Select and sow only “GOOD” seed, 
for they are really cheaper. Plant 
“Nicholson’s Tested Seeds’ for best re- 
sults. Be careful to sow to proper depth 
and cover rightly for uniformity of 
growth. 
5. Don’t let the “robbers” of the soil 
—WEEDS—get a head start on your 
garden. Use the hoe frequently to con- 
trol weeds and conserve moisture, also 
to permit roots to breathe. 
6. Best hours of the day to water 
plants are early morning or evening. If 
you should water during day, be sure 
not to let water touch foliage. 
7. When transplanting be careful not 
to injure roots and keep plants covered 
while transplanting to avoid “drying” 
of roots. 
8. Bugs are like weeds—if you detect 
them in time they cannot do much harm. 
Nicholson’s has all the artillery and 
ammunition needed to kill them.
