WOOD'S PEDIGREE TOMATOES 
CULTURE.—Six or eight weeks before frost is over plant one-quarter inch deep in hot-beds or shallow boxes, 
and when they have made four leaves transplant to promote root growth. Expose as much as possible to harden 
them, so that they will become strong and stocky, but do not allow the growth to be checked. Transplant 3 to 4 
feet apart in a light, warm soil, and shade them a few days until well rooted. Spray with bordeaux mixture to pre- 
vent area it put arsenate of lead to Kill insects. A 5-8-5 fertilizer gives the biggest yield. Do not plant 
in an old seed bed. 
1 ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre.

Marglobe Wilt Resistant created such intense interest since the in- 
troduction of our Wood’s Famous Brimmer. It was bred primarily 
to produce a red wilt-resistant tomato of the Globe type and ex-— 
ceeded all expectations. It is a splendid bearer, firm, thick and mild- 
ly acid. Ripens perfectly, does not crack easily and is of very su- 
perior quality. The fruits are of good size, smooth, solid, deep from 
stem to blossom, and are borne in clusters of 5 to 7 fruits.. Marglobe 
has proved its ability to withstand long periods of wet weather.

field by the State certifying authority by whom it was certified as true to

and will yield the large, smooth, beautifully shaped fruits in demand in 
all markets and especially required by canners. Pkt. 10c¢; oz. 40c;
