TOMATOES — for Dolightful fating 
Everyone likes a good tomato and every gar- 
den should have at least a dozen hills of toma- 
toes. They may take a little more work than 
some other vegetables, but the occasional hoeing 
needed is well repaid by the constant supply of 
delicious fresh fruit all summer long. When the 
first frost comes in the fall, there are usually a 
number of green tomatoes left on the vines. 
These make an excellent pickle which will be 
relished the whole winter. We pay special 
attention to raising tomato plants for the home 
garden. 
PEARSON 
Pearson—75 days. An eariy main-crop, scarlet 
fruited variety, having a compact self-top- 
ping vine. The tomato is a sligntly flattened 
giobe-shape, very smooth, with a tough skin 
which shows practically no cracking. Yielas 
are very heavy and the size is good wneu 
grown with proper soil fertility. 
Firesteel—An unusually tine red tomato weigh- 
ing from 12 to 14 ounces, borne in clusters 
of 3 to 5 that matures in 67 days. Fire- 
steel runs uniformly to large size tomatoes. 
Globe shape, smooth skin, of excellent flavor 
free from acidity, solid and meaty. Vine 
medium, vigorous, fairly open with medium 
foliage. Withstands hot and dry weather to 
a remarkable degree. 
Stokesdale—70 days. An early scarlet fruited 
variety maturing about 10 days earlier than 
Marglobe. Fruit has remarkably solid in- 
terior, ripening from the inside outward. 
Small seed cavity. 
Marglobe—This tomato is a perfectly globe- 
shaped tomato of the most beautiful red 
color. It bears an abundant crop of good sized 
fruit which ripens well up to the stem. It 
is a second early sort and has proven to be 
disease resistant in the section where tomato 
diseases are most prevalent. 
Break O'Day—The variety is a cross between 
the Marglobe and Marvana, possessing the 
disease-resisting quality in both to a very 
marked degree. In size, color, shape and 
solidity the fruit is very much like Marglobe 
but matures from 10 to 12 days earlier. It 
produces a very heavy plant and from a 
standpoint of yield is one of the most prolific 
varieties ever produced. The fruit is globe- 
shaped and of a beautiful deep scarlet color, 
and is unusually meaty, producing very few 
seeds. 
Chalk's Early Jewel—Fruits deep scarlet red, 
nearly round or somewhat flattened, smooth, 
of large size and most excellent quality. They 
ripen very early. 
STOKESDALE 
FRUITONE 
For best set of tomato blossoms and 
a larger crop, spray blossoms once a 
week for the first four weeks after 
blooming starts. If a stronger solution 
is used for the spray, most of the to- 
matoes will be seedless.

RUTGERS 
Pritchard or Scarlet Topper—75 days. Beauti- 
ful red fruits, smooth, meaty, globular in 
shape and with an excellent flavor. Very pro- 
ductive, yields a heavy tonnage of large size 
tomatoes. Wilt resistant. Vines, medium 
dense, erect and self topping. 
Gulf State Market—78 days. Its many excel- 
lent qualities make it a very desirable sort 
for the home gardener or the grower for lo- 
cal markets. Fruits medium to large, round 
or globe shaped, show but little depression 
about stem and are smooth and free from 
eracks. Color, deep purplish pink, ripening 
well about the stem. 
Rutger’s—85 days. This tomato has thick out- 
er and inner walls of solid meat, with very 
small seed cavity. It is scarlet-red color, 
globe shaped, resembling Marglobe. Ripens 
first in the center of the fruit, so that when 
red on the outside the tomatoes are ripe all 
through.
