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 disease, and in 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. j 
1 ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre. 
437 Wood's Famous Brimmer Tomato 
(110 Days) 
st IN QUALITY —There is no tomato that can com- 
IN SIZE pare with Brimmer. Although it is 
IN PRODUCTIVENESS the largest and most productive of 
all tomatoes, this statement refers particularly to the quality, 
flavor and meatiness of the fruits that are without the acidity 
So objectionable in some varieties. 
Quality 
— In the 
breed - 
ing of our 
Brimmer, 
quality is 
our first 
consid - 
eration. 
The flavor 
is delici- 
ous. and 
they are so 
free of 
acid that 
they may 
“be eaten 
with im- 
punity by 
those to 
whom acid 
tomatoes bring distress. For slicing, no tomato can compare 
with Brimmer. The slices are usually large enough to fill an 
ordinary salad dish. 
7 t —Brimmers measuring 15 to 16 inches in cir- 
Size and Weight cumference, and weighing 214 pounds or more, 
are not at all unusual. They are all meat, have very few seeds 
and no core. 
Productiveness —Although afew days later than the very early 
; varieties, the enormous size and remarkable 
yield more than make up for the few days difference in earliness. 
The vines bear a tremendous load of fruits right up to frost, 
and the fruits are large till the end of the season. Brimmer 
not only makes big tomatoes, but a lot of them. 
4 —To make the biggest tomatoes and 
How to Grow Brimmers the largest yield, train to a single 
stem, tie the vines up to strong five-foot stakes; this gives ample 
room for development, plenty of sunlight, holds them off the 
ground and enables the vines to continue to yield a constant 
supply right up to frost.

1 (95 Days).—Sometimes called Pink 
425. June Pink Tomato Earliana. The earliest pink tomato. 
Except in color, it is very much like Spark’s Earliana, almost 
as early, rather smoother, but has the further advantage of hav- 
ing a longer fruiting season, the vines continuing to bear and 
ripen its fruit until frost. The fruit is medium in size, uniform, 
smooth and attractive, without cracks and green core. A first- 
class tomato for the earliest crop in the home garden, and a fine 
shipper, as it does not readily bruise and crack. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; 
14 lb. $2.00; 1b. $7.50; 2-lb. lots $7.25 per Ilb.; 5-lb. lots $7.00 per

b) (Bright. Scarlet). (100 Days) — 
423. Chalk s Early Jewel Extra early, coming in very short- 
ly after Spark’s Harliana, but a heavier cropper, with fruits of 
large size and sweeter flavor; in quality and handsome appear- 
ance like the Stone, but distinctly earlier. A particular advan- 
tage is its hardy robust growth, admitting of earlier setting in 
the field; withstands cool weather where more tender sorts would 
be injured. It continues bearing through a long season. Pkt. 10c;

422. Spark’s Earliana (35 Daya)-s 
A real extra-early tomato, one that will | 
make fruits of good size, solid 
and of good quality. Unfortu- 
nately, many lEarliana 
stocks produce rough 
and irregular fruits. 
Every year our plant- 
ing stock is saved from 
plants that bear only 
perfect, smooth, extra 
early tomatoes, and is 
as near perfect, will 
bear as early and as 
many fruits as any that

than Harliana, but more satisfactory. A vig-
