Ba Sie N. Cos 
Your Faribo Hybrid “E” Tomatoes of last 
year were excellent. They were planted close 
together, as I planned to support them on 
sticks. However I did not have time to attend | 
to them until they were too large—then we got | 
the dry, hot spell, and the vines shaded the 
ground. We had tomatoes to eat, to can and 
to give away. They were of excellent quality, 
with few seeds, and were free from blight and 
scale. i 
By comparison with number of plants, we had 
many more tomatoes than others—I had only 
one packet of seeds, 30 for 25c, from which 
they grew.

CULTURE—The same methods that produce good cabbage will grow good cauliflower.

sure of the desirable white curd. Gather the tops of the leaves together loosely as soon as the 
heads begin to form.
