THE WETSEL SEED COMPANY 
TOMATO 
Sow seed in hotbeds or flats in February or March; transplant when 
the plants have four leaves, and when danger of frost is past, set in the 
open ground. Space the plants at least 3 feet apart each way, and sup- 
port them with stakes or wires. An ounce of seed will produce about 
1500 plants. 
HYBRID TOMATO SEED 
Hybrid Tomatoes are becoming more numerous and have al- 
ready acquired considerable popularity. They possess greater 
vitality and are therefore more resistant to blight and other 
diseases. This factor also provides better quality fruit. We have: 
(F-2). This is second-generation seed— 
Stokescross No. 4. 
said to be not quite so good as first generation but plenty good 
enough. 
Burpee’s Big Boy. (F-1). More expensive than F-2. Pkt. (30 
seeds) 35 cts. 
Beefsteak. 90 days. Wilt-resistant. A main-crop variety for home 
and market gardens. Fruit large, flat, smooth, bright scarlet.

tremely productive. Fruits large, smooth, globe shaped, bright red.

tects fruits from sun-scald. Fruit large. Will outyield most open-

ing and testing.

vorite with all growers. Fruit rich scarlet-red, solid, and of good

oval in shape; dark green rind. Crisp, sweet flesh, brilliant red with 
few black seeds. Average weight is 35 pounds but specimens some- 
times weigh 50 to 60 pounds. Fine texture, free from stringiness. 
Excellent shipper and keeper.

only variety known to fully resist this disease. Resembles Garrison 
in size and shape, with equal quality and somewhat darker color.

veloped from Stone Mountain and has proved to be resistant to 
epee wilt. Resembles its parent in every respect except that it 
is smaller. 
New Hampshire Midéet 
This small melon belongs to the group that is commonly referred 
to as “icebox melons.’’ According to reports, this particular 
variety has taken the country by storm. Thus far the supply of 
seed has been insufficient to meet the demand, despite increased 
production of seed each year. The quality, we are told, is excellent, 
being deliciously sweet right down to a thin rind. Can be eaten 
‘from the half” like a cantaloupe. (See back cover for price.)
