Tomatoes 
Within the lifetime of people still living, Tomatoes have climbed from food of ques- 
tionable value to a most important item of daily diet. People just learned to like them 
without help of what we know as advertising. 
Victory Gardeners gave Tomatoes a preferred space in their gardens, for with but 
half a chance, even a few plants will produce large quantities of a fruit that is health- 
ful and palatable whether eaten raw, cooked, solid or as juice, cold or hot. 
Experts clgim that Tomatoes are a good source of Vitamins A, B1 and C, 
Your purchase of an automobile, refrigerator, washing machine gets you set for 
maintenance and repair expense. Your purchase of a packet of Tomato seed brings 
you a big, dividend in a few short months. Don’t stop buying the former, but by all 
means, plant Tomatoes for a good investment. 
CULTURE. Tomato seed should be started early, by March or early 
April in hot beds or in boxes or pots in the house. An extra transplant- 
ing into other pots or cold frames is beneficial for root development 
before finally setting outdoors, when it is warm. Do not crowd Tomato 
plants. You want short stocky plants rather than tall spindly ones. 
One ounce should produce 2500 to 3000 plants. If set 36 x 24 inches apart 
you will need about 7200 per acre. 
The Tomato of the Year 

Bradley’s Cleveland Banner 
4088 BRADLEY’S CLEVELAND BANNER. 
Originated by Mr. William E. Va.: of Yorktown 
Heights, N. Y., the originator of several excellent 
varieties which today are well known to almost all 
Tomato growers. He has named it for Mr. Bradley. 
In our trial growings and in the propagation fields 
this marvelous tomato has excelled all other 
comparable sorts to the extent that it truly de- 
serves the attention of every gardener. The large 
uniform smooth dark crimson fruit ripen ten days 
ahead of other midseason sorts and continue in full 
fruit until frost. The slightly flattened globe- 
shaped fruits are very solid and meaty with very 
little acid content, making an ideal variety for 
canning or slicing. A vigorous grower, heavy 
producer and a fruit of fine appearance and ex- 
cellent quality. Bradley’s Cleveland Banner is 
destined to take its place among leading Tomato 
varieties. Pkt. hdc; 1% oz. 40c; Oz. 75es
