EARLY TOMATOES 
FROM POTTED PLANTS 
POT GROWN TOMATO PLANTS 
PRICE—85c per doz., $6.00 per 100. 
POT GROWN PLANTS will produce fruit several 
weeks earlier than the ordinary seedling plants. These 
plants have been transplanted and grown in pots with 
a mass of developed roots that are ready to take hold 
without the setback that occurs when plants with a few 
spindly roots are planted. 
We offer Tomato plants in many kinds, including the 
good old popular varieties, both early and late. We offer 
too, many of the newer introductions that come highly 
recommended from other sections, many of which are 
outstanding. 
We grow these plants in large quantities, but we sug- 
gest ordering early, as this year we expect an unusual 
demand, and because of labor shortage we will be obliged 
to limit the quantity on some kinds. 
Tomato plants will be ready to send out about May 
15th, depending on weather conditions.
