22 Tomatoes Produce Enormous Crops if Good Seeds Are Planted 
TOMATOES 
One ounce will produce 
about 1000 plants 
All Tomato seed is flat, yellow, fuzzy, semi-solid, and about js; inch in diameter. For a small garden, 
sow a few seeds in a shallow box or flower-pot the beginning of March, and place in a sunny window. About 
May 15, set plants in the garden, 3 feet apart each way, watering freely at time of transplanting. If a large 
area is to be planted, sow seed in the hotbed in rows 5 inches apart and 4 inch deep. When 2 inches high, 
transplant 4 inches apart to another hotbed, or in 4-inch pots, one plant to a pot, again transplanting to 
the open the middle of March, _ 

















Marglobe Tomato 
BONNY BEST. A _ vigorous-growing sort of 
spreading, upright habit, having large, smooth, deep 
green foliage. The fruits are of good size, weighing 
5 to 6 ounces each, and are borne in clusters of three 
to five. In shape they are rather flattened, but 
smooth and do not crack. The skin ts a solid red 
right up to the stem, and the flesh is dark red, of fine 
texture and flavor, and slightly sub-acid. 
BREAK O’DAY. Early, disease-resistant Tomato, 
scarlet-red, smooth walled, globe shaped, and meaty. 
It is very prolific and bears medium-large fruits, unt- 
form in size. Vines are light and of open, spreading 
habit. Marketable 70 days from transplanting. 
CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL. Matures a week later 
than Earliana. The fruits are very uniform in size, of 
brightest red, and very solid. It produces its large 
fruits continuously through the season, and for 
quality and quantity easily takes first place among 
the extra-early varieties. 
DWARF CHAMPION. A _ compact, upright 
grower that bears a profusion of medium-sized, pur- 
plish pink, smooth, symmetrical fruits. 
DWARF STONE. Fine for the home-garden be- 
cause of its dwarf, compact habit. The fruits are 
freely borne in clusters of three to five, and average 
4 inches in diameter and 21% inches in depth. They 
are bright red in color, smooth and solid. 
EARLIANA. A very early and productive sort, 
with deep red fruits crowded in clusters all over the 
plant. The fruits are very uniform In size, averaging 
3 inches in diameter and 2 to 21% inches deep. The 
flesh is solid, with few seeds. 
JOHN BAER. The introducer claims that this is 
one of the very earliest Tomatoes originated up to 
date. In addition to its earliness, it has the added 
merit of being an enormous yielder, producing 50 to 
100 fruits to a plant. Strong plants, grown in paper 
pots and transplanted without disturbing the roots, 
will produce ripe Tomatoes in 30 days. The fruits 
are perfect in shape, solid, high crowned, and of a 
: beautiful brilliant red. 
MARGLOBE. A disease-resistant type, developed 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Espe- 
ially valuable in districts troubled with rust and 
wilt. Fruits are large, smooth, globular, meaty, 
nd almost coreless. Plants very productive, me- 
dium large, and erect, shading the fruit well to 
prevent sun scald. A good sort for market-gardeners 
and canners, as it is second early in maturing. 
MATCHLESS. One of the heaviest yielders and a 
fine main- or general-crop sort. The beautiful cardi- 
nal-red fruits are very large, solid, and meaty, with 
few seeds. It 1s particularly recommended for short 
market shipments, as it is not quite so solid as the 
Stone. It also has the added merit of retaining the 
size of its fruits late in the season. 
OXHEART. A pink-fruited, late variety, with 
vine growth somewhat open, spreading, and moder- 
ately productive. The fruits are heart shaped, with 
thick solid flesh except for very small seed-cavities, 
unsurpassed for slicing. The flavor is delicious, less 
acid than most varieties. 
PONDEROSA (Beefsteak). The largest Tomato 
yet introduced, frequently weighing a pound or 
more. The fruit is deep purple in color, slightly red- 
dish, with very solid, luscious flesh and small seed 
cells. Fine for the family garden and for the market. 
A fine slicing Tomato, being very fleshy. 
PRITCHARD (Scarlet Topper). 95 days. A scar- 
let self-topping or self-pruning Tomato developed by 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A cross be- 
tween Marglobe (U. S. Department of Agriculture) 
and Cooper’s Special. The dwarf, sturdy plants are 
comparatively wilt-resistant. Fruits are smooth, 
globular, and extremely solid, making it a good 
shipper. Other outstanding features are its deep red 
interior as well as exterior color and heavy yielding 
ability. 
STONE. One of the best main-crop red Tomatoes. 
The fruit is large, smooth, bright scarlet, of fine 
quality, having little core. A heavy yielder of uni- 
formly large fruits, and has proved to be a tremen- 
dous money-maker everywhere. Fine for canning or 
the home-garden, and long considered the standard 
main-crop Tomato for all purposes.
