RELIABLE VEGETABLE SEEDS 
TOMATO 
1 Pkt. for 200 Plants; 2 Ounce for 1,000 Plants 
Sow 
the seed in a hot-bed, or in a shallow box in the house, 
allowing 5 to 6 weeks to produce plants large enough for 
setting outdoors when weather becomes warm. Sow in 
rows 3 inches apart and cover with 14 inch of soil. 
plants are about 2 inches tall, transplant to stand 4 inches 
apart each way, or pot singly in 3 inch pots. Plant out- 
doors when all danger of frost is past, in rows 4 feet 
apart and 3 to 4 feet apart in the row. 
63 Days. Break O’ Day is a greatly 
disease-resistant variety and is the same shape, color and 
size as Marglobe but much more solid; and to crown all 
is 10 to 12 days earlier in ripening. This means that it 
will ripen along with the other extra early tomatoes, but 
excells them in size, solidity and seedlessness.

64 Days. An excellent edrly, bright scar- 
let tomato. _ Deep, flat, smooth. Vines open, small 
foliage, fruits crowded in clusters of 6 to 10 over the

Most popular of the early reds.

66 Days. Extra early 
red. Not quite so early as Earliana, though there is 
only a few days difference. John Baer yields a much 
heavier crop of larger, more uniform and more attrac- 
tive fruits. Most profitable extra early sort.

483 MARGLOBE. 75 Days. We offer the most superb 
strain of this splendid type in point of earliness, uni- 
formity, and general desirability. It is definitely 
disease-resistant, the plants are thrifty, heavily pro- 
ductive, and have a remarkably long bearing period. 
For use either as a slicer or for a canning tomato, you 
will find in Marglobe everything that you have desired. 
A-Pkt. 10c; B-Pkt. (Y2 Oz.) 30c; C-Pkt. (1 Oz.) 55¢ 
85 Days. Grow extreme- 
ly large and are full of luscious juicy flesh. The seed 
cavities are remarkably small, which accounts for the 
solid meat. It is not unusual for the tomatoes to 
weigh 24 ounces and more, though the average runs 
around 9 ounces. -They are deep, somewhat flattened, 
and have a most agreeable mild flavor. Essentially 
a home garden tomato.

483 Marglobe Tomato 
73 Days. _This new variety developed 
by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station 
produces a sturdy plant with thick stem and an abun- 
dance of foliage to protect the fruits from sun-scald. 
The fruits are large and similar in shape to Marglobe 
but ripen earlier and are of a bright scarlet color. 
The flesh is firm and red throughout, which makes it 
an ideal canning and juice tomato.
