a Buist $s Tomatoes—tarly and Main Crop 
1 Oz. for 3000 Plants; 2 Oz. per Acre 
UR Tomato seeds are all grown 
from stock seed of finest qual- 
ity. The selections for purity are 
made from healthy, strong growing 
vines yielding fruit true to type. 
A uniform standard is set for 
color, thickness, size, disease re- 
sistance and heavy yield- 
ing qualities. No finer 
strains of Tomatoes can 
be found anywhere than 
Buist’s high bred stocks. 
Culture—For an early crop 
of tomatoes sow about the 
middle of February 1/7 in. 
deep in prepared soil in a 
hot bed or indoors in a 
seed pan placed at a sunny 
window. To produce 
strong, healthy plants, 
transplant when 3 ins. 
high to small pots or seed 
pans. On the approach of 
early Spring place them in a 
frame, admitting fresh air in 
mild weather so as to harden and 
make the plants stocky. 
For a late crop sow the seed in a warm cold- 
frame by April Ist, sufficiently thin in the 
row to insure strong, stocky plants. Dust 
plants with a reliable insecticide to protect 
against disease and insects. Transplant in the 
open ground the middle of May, if the 
ground is warm, 31/2 ft. apart in rows 4 ft. 
apart. They thrive and produce the best fruit 
planted in well fertilized, loamy soil. Practice 
clean, shallow cultivation. 
In a home garden, support the plants with 
stakes or trellises and pinch the suckers. The 
fruit will then ripen better and be more choice 
in size and quality.

red tomato for the home garden and the most 
profitable to grow for early market. Vine 
open and spreading and very productive for 
an early sort. Fruits slightly flattened, smooth,

som. Considered as good, if not better than 
Penn State Earliana. PGs 
PENN STATE EARLIANA

sylvania State Agricultural Sta-
