Wlicn tlie plants are about two inches high, transplant into anotlier hot-bed or into small pots one in each pot; in that way the plants are strengthened and branch out betier. Set the plants out about the lirst of June, about tliree 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 four feet apart. Water freely when trans- planting, setting the plant deep, and protect from the sun for a few days until the plants are fairly started. A few plants may be raised bj- sowing seed in a pot or a box in the house. Where only a few plants are grown, the vines may be trained to a single stem, removing all suckers, thus inducing earliness, and superiority of fruit. 1 o/.. to 1,500 plants, % lb. for trans- ItlautiuK' on an acre. :». Crea CREAM CITV TOMATO. The First Large Tomato to Riiien. Remarkably Prolific. • Flesh Thick and Soliil. A variety of exceptional inerit, coming into use as early as Early Ruby and other small and unshapely extra early sorts. It is perfectly smooth and symmetrical in shape, 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 ciuality with very few seeds. It is an excel- lent 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. Pkt. lOc; i/. oz. 25c; 1 oz. 40c; 2 ozs. 70c; 14 lb. $
