WOOD'S PEDIGREE TOMATOES 
CULTURE.—Six or eight weeks before frost is ovey 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. 
1 ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make plants for an acre.

(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.

with Brimmer. The slices are usually large enough to fill an 
ordinary salad dish.

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. 
i —Although a few days later than the very early 
Productiveness 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 toinatoes, but a lot of them.

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.

425. June Pink Tomato (95 Days).—Sometimes called Pink 
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, unitorm, 
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;

Bonnie Best 

(100. Days) — 
Extra early, coming in very short- 
ly after Spark’s Earliana, 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;

432. Oxheart 
(110 Days) — Not 
only shaped like a 
beef heart, but 
when well grown 
is almost as large. 
The color is deep 
pink, about like 
Improved Ponder- 
1 osa; they have the 
| same mild flavor 
and texture, but 
even fewer seeds; 
in fact, it is al- 
most seedless, fre- 
quently two inches 
of meat without a 
seed cavity. A fine 
tomato for the 
home gardener.
