CULTURE. Tomatoes do best on a light, warm, not over rich soil, and success depends upon 
securing a rapid vigorous and unchecked growth during the early part of the season. Sow in hot 
beds from six to eight weeks before they can be set out of doors, which is when danger from frost 
is past. When the plants have four leaves transplant into shallow boxes or cold frames, setting them 
4 to 5 inches apart. Give plenty of air, and endeavor to secure a vigorous, but steady and healthy 
growth, so that at the time of setting in the open ground they will be strong and stocky. Even a 
slight check while the plants are small will materially diminish their productiveness. Set out of 
doors as soon as danger from frost is over, but before doing so, harden off the plants by gradually 
exposing them to the night air and by the withdrawal of water until the wood becomes hard, and 
the leaves thick and of a dark green color. Transplant carefully, and cultivate well as long as the 
vires will permit. The fruit is improved in quality if the vines are tie. toa trellis or to stakes- ~~

TWO NEW GUNSON INTRODUCTIONS 
GLADE (New) 77 Days SIZE OF LIMB FRUITS 
This new prolific variety is our 
own development with many gen- 
erations of selective breeding in 
its background. Has retained the 
characteristics of Rutgers from 
which the original selections were 
made. Plants have heavy stout 
stems and stand upright with 
bushy vigorous growth. The foli- 
age is coarse, medium dark green 
in color and. affords extra good 
fruit protection. Fruits large with 
good globe shape. Fruits contain 
small seed cells with thick walls 
and ripen to a bright red color 
inside and out. It differs from any- 
thing else in larger and BETTER 
trifle later than Rutgers, this 
strain was developed in and for 
Florida. An excellent shipper. Be 
sure to give Glade a substantial 
trial. 
GROTHEN’S GLOBE— Wilt Resistant 
68 Days 
The result of a single plant selec- 
tion from our regular Grothen’s 
Globe. The wilt resistant qualities 
continue to be a factor in proving 
the merits of this strain. Identical 
in fruit and plant type with our 
regular Grothen’s Globe. Not im- 
mune to wilt but exhaustive checks 
show this stock to be very wilt 
resistant.
