«T O M A T O E LS TATURA GLOBE DWARF—August is the month to sow your Tomato seed, and as usual, we are on deck with the latest and best. We have secured a small supply of the new dwarf, which is not heavily wrinkled like the Australian Dwarf, but smooth round globe. This is we think, destined to entirely supercede the Australian Dwarf, being much earlier, a better cropper, and highly blight resistant. it is equally suitable for outdoors or the glasshouse, and needs no staking. Seed sown this month should give you ripe tomatoes before Christmas. 1/6 pkt., 1/8 posted. CARLTON VICTORY TOMATO —Of the tall varieties this is the pick, for it produces immense crops of large fruit, often up to 1| lbs. There is no core, very little seed, and good solid flesh right through. For main crop you cannot better Carlton Victory. 1/6 pkt., 1/8 posted. POTENTATE Smooth, round, comparatively small, going about 4 to lb., it is a marvellous cropper, the fruit hanging in immense clusters. The flavour is good, and it is the perfect shop tomato. 1/pkt., 1/2 posted.
