To obtain fruit very early, sow the seeds in greenhouse during 
February or March, or in hotbed when season has sufficiently 
advanced. In about five weeks plants should be transplanted to 
another hotbed, until about the middle of May, when they may 
be put into the ground in hills, about four feet apart each way. 
The richer the soil the ranker will be the growth of the vines, but 
an ordinary warm, light soil, with fine, well-rotted manure in the 
hill, and a sunny location, will produce the more handsome and 
plentiful fruit. 








Earliana. Extra early, 
fruits medium in_ size, 
bright red. Vines usually 
through bearing or dead 
by September first. The 
most important feature of 
Earliana is its extreme 
earliness, with as _ firm 
smooth fruits as can be 
had, without sacrificing this 
feature. The seed we offer 
is a fine strain. It has been 
produced with care to com- 
bine these features to a 
remarkable extent. Price 
per oz., 35c.; %-lb, SHOUE 
Ib., $3.50. 
Earliana Special. A very 
superior strain, on which 
has been spent much time 
Pritchard, an Early Tomato of Many Fine Qualities in individual plant selec- 
tion, resulting in greater 
uniformity, smoothness and productiveness than in any other strain we have ever seen. It is un- 
doubtedly profitable for market growers to use such seed when obtainable. Per pkt., 15c.; oz., 70c.; 
%4-lb., $2.25; Ib., $7.50. 
Victor. A new, more attractive and productive, extra early variety. Victor produces large clusters 
of deep, uniform, fine scarlet tomatoes. The vines are not large and may be set closer than standard 
sorts.) Pkty sl Ucsoz 1-00) 
Pritchard. (New). A great advance in the early class. These fruits ripen just after Earliana and 
with Bonney Best. A cross between Marglobe and Cooper’s Special by the late Dr. F. J. Pritchare 
Fruits good size, intense scarlet and do not turn yellow or blister; similar in structure to Marglobe, 
solid, almost no core, small seed pockets; excellent in appearance and quality. The plants are self- 
topping, disease-resistant and produce unusually heavy crops. The Pritchard is valuable for both mar- 
ket and home use. Per oz., 40c.; %4-lb., $1.20; Ib., $4.00. 
Scarlet Dawn. A cross of Clark’s Early and Marglobe; earlier in season than either parent. Fruits 
medium-large with thick wall structure, globular, smooth, bright scarlet; exceptionally attractive. High- 
ly desirable for home garden, market or canning. Per oz., 55c.; 1%4-Ib., $1.80; Ib., $6.00.
