TOMATOES 
—how to grow them 
Sow seeds in hot-beds in early spring and trans- 
plant to flats when plants are about 2 inches tall 
and place in cold frames. When all danger of 
frost is past, transplant to open ground, setting 
4 feet apart each way. Water freely until plants 
are well established, then water as needed, mak- 
ing later waterings less frequently but thor- 
ough and at roots only. For home gardens, train 
vines on trellises or stakes for best quality and 
quicker ripening. 
PEARSON’S IMPROVED 
An outstanding market and packing variety. 75 
days. A very large, attractive fruit, slightly flat- 
tened globe in shape, deep red color, tough skin, 
numerous cells, but best of all, entirely uniform 
smooth skinned without any cracks. Extremely 
heavy bearer as well. A self-topping variety; 
that is, the branches terminate in flower clusters, 
and elongation therefore ceases, making the 
plants more compact and less sprawling than 
standard vines. We unreservedly recommend 
this variety as the best tomato that has thus far 
been brought out for our huge tomato produc- 
tion sections in this area. Pkt. 15c, 1 oz. $1.50,
