TOMATO EARLIANA (66 days) 
To get a heavy crop of high quality tomatoes ahead of 
others, you must grow Harliana in heavily manured ground. 
Use well rotted manure and prepare your ground in the fall 
whenever possible. You must stake the plants, because when 
plants are left laying on the ground the fruit develops a green 
spot where it touches the ground. Do not use manure for 
other varieties of tomatoes except Bonny Best and Break O’ 
Day. Both these varieties do much better when grown on 
manured ground. Otherwise the rule is for all tomatoes: no 
fresh manure. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; Ib. $7.00. 
GROTHEN’S GLOBE (68 days)—The fruits are globe shaped, 
of positive bright scarlet color, free from objectionable yellow

protecting the fruit from sun scold. Well adapted to green 
wrap shipping. Particularly desirable for truckers and ship- 
pers in the South. Best adapted for light, sandy loam soils, 
producing an immense crop of first class fruit. Wilt resis- 
tant. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; Ib. $6.00.

ductive. Favorite in England for growing in greenhouses.

ered the King of forcing tomatoes. The fruits are medium in 
size, very uniform and of perfect globular shape so that in 
grading for the market very little sorting is required. Color 
rich bright red. Heavily productive, largely owing to the fact 
that the plants are exceptionally short-jointed so that where 
most varieties produce 6 trusses of fruit, Hundredfold will 
ie 8 trusses on the same height of plant. Pkt. 30c; oz. 
GULF STATE FORCING (77 days)—If your market will ac- 
cept pink colored tomatoes of fairly large size, grow Gulf

ned and very solid. Pkt. 15c; oz. $1.00. 
TOMATO CRACKERJACK (66 days) 
A GREAT VARIETY FOR GREENHOUSE FORCING 
The fruit is solid, smooth, globe shaped, bright red and 
there is no waste, every tomato is saleable. Medium in 
size, just right as the grocers of our city put it. It takes 
3 to 5 Crackerjacks to a pound, for this reason grocers 
prefer Crackerjack over the big sized tomatoes which are so 
hard to weigh unless cut in pieces. Nobody wants cut toma- 
toes, Crackerjack weighing without cutting is the sort desired. 
Crackerjack is a strongly self pollenizing variety, every bloom 
is sure fruit which is produced in bunches of 5 to 10 every 6 
inches of a plant growth. Once it starts to turn in color it 
ripens quickly and evenly to the core. Crackerjack will yleid 
bigger sized fruit if grown 10 degrees cooler than is required 
for other tomatoes. (Night temperature of 55 deg.). Price: 
Pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 30c; oz. $2.00. 
IMPROVED CRACKERJACK—Larger in size than the orig- 
inal strain, averaging 3 to 4 fruits to a pound. Color red, 
skin tough, making it a first class shipper and keeper. Best 
results are obtained when the plant is trimmed to about 6 
feet. Pkt. 20c; 1/8 oz. 30c; oz. $2.00.

that it is an excellent performer. The fruit is somewhat 
amaller when greenhouse grown but the crop is tremendous.

wrap sort producing fruit over a long period of time.
