To obtain fruit very early, sow the seeds in greenhouse during 
February or March, or in hotbed when season has sufficiently ad- 
vanced. In about five weeks plants should be transplanted to 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 loca- 
tion, will produce the more handsome and plentiful fruit.

Bonny Best. (73 days). 
An early, round, smooth, 
bright scarlet Tomato, 
similar to Chalk’s Early 
Jewel; two to three days

the early clusters of three 
to five attractive, solid 
fruits. Per oz., 65c.; %4-lb., 
$2.00; Ib., $7.00. 
Pritchard. (75 days). A 
re Nih ‘ i ; great advance in the earl 
class. These fruits ripen just after Earliana and with Bonny Best. A cross berween Marglobe and Chop 
er’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 appear- 
ance and quality. The plants are self-topping, disease-resistant and produce unusually heavy crops. The 
Pritchard is valuable for both market and home use, but not as suitable for staking due to its shorter vine 
growth. Per oz., 75c.; %4-lb., $2.25; lb., $7.50. 
Scarlet Dawn. (75 days). A cross of Clark’s Early and Marglobe; earlier in season than either parent. 
Fruits medium-large with thick wall structure, globular, smooth, bright scarlet; exceptionally attractive. 
Highly arto for home garden, market or canning; excellent for early staking. Per oz., 85c.; %4-lb., 
$2.40; Ib., $7.50.
