Set the plants out about the first of June, about 3 feet apart, for early crop, mixing a shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. For late crops, or where the soil is heavy. plant 4 feet apart.

CREAM CITY TOMATO The First Large Tomato to Ripen. Remarkably Prolific. Flesh Thick and Solid. A variety of exceptional merit, coming into use as early as Early Ruby and other small and unshapely extra early sorts. It is perfectly smooth and symmetrical in sliape, and as large as Perfection. The plants are strong and vigorous, bearing an abundance of large, smooth fruit of a beautiful purplish crimson color. The flesh is remarkably thick, firm and solid, and of very fine quality with very few seeds. It is an excellent shipper. Does not crack or rot, as is the case with many of the old sorts. It is known to be the most profitable tomato for the market gardener and trucker, and is unsurpassed for canning purposes.
