WOOD'S PEDIGREE TOMATOES 
CULTURE.—Six or eight weeks before frost is over plant one-quarter inch deep in hot-beds 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 allow 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. 
in an old seed bed. 
A 5-8-5 fertilizer gives the biggest yield. Do not plant 
1 ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre. 
Woo0d’s Improved 
Ponderosa 
Tomato 


No.4436. Wood’s Improved Ponderosa pre bet eet 
Before our Brimmer was introduced, Ponderosa was the out- 
standing tomato in size and quality. Unfortunately, the old 
Ponderosa was rough and uneven. in our improved strain the 
tendency to produce rough fruits has been overcome without in 
any way sacrificing the many fine qualities that made this fine 
tomato famous. The plants are healthy and luxuriant, quite 
blight-resistant and continuous and abundant bearers, They are 
so vigorous that even in dry seasons we have grown tomatoes 
of unusual size. The fruits are practically all meat, with excep- 
tionally few seeds. If trained to a single stem, tomatoes weigh- 
ing a pound or more are not unusual. Color, purplish pink.

. Ju 1 (95 Days).—Sometimes called Pink 
425 June Pink Tomato Earliana. The earliest pink tomato. 
Except in color, it is very much like Spark’s Harliana, almost 
as early, rather smoother, but has the further advantage of hav- 
ing a lJonger fruiting season, the vines continuing to bear and 
ripen its fruit until frost. The fruit is medium in size, uniform, 
smooth and attractive, without cracks and green core. A first- 
class tomato for the earliest crop in the home garden, and a fine 
shipper, as it does not readily bruise and crack. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c;

No. 437 Wood's Famous 
Brimmer Tomato [110 Days] 
st 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. 
Quality —In the breeding of our 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. For slicing, no tomato can 
compare with Brimmer. The slices are usually large enough to 
fill an ordinary salad dish. 
1 7 —Brimmers measuring 15 to 16 inches in cir- 
Size and Weight cumference, and weighing 244 pounds or more, 
are not at all unusual. They are all meat, have very few seeds 
and no core. 
1 —Although a few days later than the very early 
Productiveness varieties, the enormous size and remarkable 
yield 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. 
i —To make the biggest tomatoes and 
How to Grow Brimmers 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.
