Valiant—A New, Very Early, Large, Heavy, Scarlet Tomato 
Charles Curtis, a well known florist of Rochester, N. Y., 
grew these Valiant Tomatoes from our seed last summer. 
They were the best Valiants we have ever had the pleasure 
of looking at and they were just as good eating.

Hart & Vicki TOMATOES 
The number of days to maturity we give are days from setting of the plants. 
Sow seed in hotbeds or in boxes in a warm room; transplant when about 2 inches 
nigh into flats or single pots and place in cold frames. Transplant to the open 
ground about the middle of May to June 15th, setting the plants about 4 feet apart 
each way. Where the summers are fairly long, seed may be sown outdoors when 
weother gets warm. Many gardeners say they obtain better results this way. Hotkaps 
set over the seed and young plants makes them bear earlier and better fruit. To 
secure best results in earliness, amount, and perfection, train and tie two or three 
of the strongest branches to long stakes; pinch off weaker ones. One package of 
seed will produce 200 plants; 1 ounce about 2000 plants. 
Comet. Best for tying up on stakes and for greenhouse culture. This medium
