Tomatoes 
Sow seeds in hot-beds in early spring and transplant to flats when plants 
are about 2 inches tall and place in cold frames. When all danger of 
frost is past, transplant to open ground, setting plants 4 feet apart each 
way. Water freely until plants are well established, then water as 
needed, making later waterings less frequent but thorough and at roots 
only. For home gardens, train vines on trellises or stake for best 
quality and quicker ripening. 

Earliest of all!

PEARSON’S IMPROVED 
75 days. The original Pearson variety 
was introduced some years ago by the 
California Agricultural Experiment 
Station, and soon gained wide popular- 





ity as a home garden, and especially as 
a market or packing tomato for green- 
wrap shipment. Now a new improved 
strain of this variety has been intro- 
duced which even exceeds the former 
in excellence in many respects. A very 
large attractive fruit, slightly flattened 
globe in shape, deep red color, tough 
Skin, numerous cells, but best of all, 
entirely uniform smooth skinned with- 
out any cracks. Extremely heavy bearer 
as well, A self-topping variety; that is, 
the branches terminate in a flower 
cluster, and elongation therefore 
ceases, making the plants more com- 
pact and less sprawling than standard 
vines. 
We unreservedly recommend this va- 
riety as the best tomato that has thus 
far been brought out for our huge 
tomato production sections in this area.
