sey Experiment Station and highly rec- 
ommended for canning, market and 
home garden, and is particularly suited 
for the manufacture of a fine-flavored, 
high-colored Tomato juice. Fruits me- 
dium to large, similar to Marglobe, ex- 
cept more flattened at stem end. The 
fruit has thick outer and inner walls, 
with very small seed cavity. The flesh 
is firm_and red. The plant is rather 
large. The natural abundance of foliage 
serves as ample protection from sun 
scald of fruits when light, Sandy soils 
are used. Destined to become a valuable 
variety. Reuter offers certified seed.

are rich in vitamins, and valuable as an appetizing dish in many 
ways. 
Our Tomato seed is produced under the supervision of ex- 
perienced, and qualified seed-breeders; each individual type is rig- 
idly selected and bred for earliness, productivity, and uniformity 
in size, shape, and color, 
Maturity dates given are from the setting of plants to marketable fruits. 
Culture. For early fruit, sow thin- 
ly in a hotbed or indoors in shallow 
boxes. Harden plants by exposing to 
the air occasionally. In about 6 weeks 
the plants will be ready to set out, 
provided danger of frost is over, The 
rows should be 4 to 5 feet apart and 
the plants about 3 feet apart in the 
row, or 2 feet in row if staked. Cul- 
tivate as long as the vines will permit.

opment by that well-known hortieul- 
turist, Dr. Julian ©. Miller. Originally 
bred from the Louisiana Pink. It is re- 
sistant to wilt, shows resistance to early 
blight and has shown greater vigor than 
any other variety in the trials at the 
Louisiana Experiment Station. The 
handsome fruits are medium to large 
in size and globe to deep globe in shape. 
The color is pink, The fruit itself 
shows a high degree of resistance to 
cracking. The interior is made up of 
numerous thick bracing walls. Both 
seed and cavities are very small. Pkt.

than Marglobe, ripening to a beau- 
tiful red color. A heavy producer 
of smooth, solid, firm, deep globe- 
shaped, large fruits. Rarely de- 
velop radial or ‘star’? cracks at 
stem end. Plants have ample fo- 
liage to protect from sun-seald.

lighter type. Our strain is highly 
disease-resistant. Pkt. 10c; 1% oz,

Tomatoes are much improved in ap- 
pearance and q'uality when trained to 
stakes. The usual method is to set 
one strong plant to a 5- or 6-foot 
stake, tying the plant up and pruning 
it quite freely as the vine advances 
in growth. One ounce will produce 
1500 plants; 4 to 6*ounces will fur- 
nish sufficient plants for an acre.
