settled and warm. Keep well watered, and when the plants are two inches high they may be trans- 
planted in rows three feet apart each way. Tobacco requires a very rich, light, mellow soil.

To obtain fruit very early, sow the seeds in greenhouse during 
February or March, or in hotbed when season has sufficiently 







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. (66 days). Ex- 
tra 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 too 
much of this feature. The 
seed we offer is a fine 
strain. It has been pro- 
duced with care to combine 
these features to a remark- 
able extent. Price per oz. 
70c.; %4-Ib., $2.25; Ib., $7.50. 
Bonny Best. (73 days). 
An early, round, smooth, 
Pritchard, an Early Tomato of Many Fine Qualities bright scarlet Tomato, 
similar to Chalk’s Early 
; : ; ; Jewel; two to three days 
earlier and slightly smaller, producing especially well the early clusters of three to five attractive, 
solid fruits. Per oz., 55c.; %-lb., $1.80; 1b., $6.00. 
Pritchard. (75 days). A great advance in the early class. These fruits ripen just after Earliana and 
with Bonny Best. A cross between Marglobe and Cooper’s Special by the late Dr. J. F. Pritchard. 
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 se, but not as suitable for staking due to its shorter vine growth. Per oz., 75c.; 
%-lb., $2.25; 1lb., $8.00. 
Scarlet Dawn. (75 days). A cross of Clark’s Early and Marglobe; earlier in season than 
ent. Fruits medium-large with thick wall structure, globular, smooth, bright scarlet; 
attractive. Highly desirable for home garden, market or canning; excellent for early 
oz., $1.10; %-lb., $3.25; Ib., $12.00,
