Hilarious quote from Chapter VII on fertilizers: 'I think that in preparing a soil for tomatoes, as in selecting social acquaintances, the "new rich" are to be avoided.'

Above is a link to a sticky in the Legacy Forum with lots and lots of older free books online, almost all about tomatoes, from the late 1800's up to the 1920's.

I went through some of them back when, but don't remember if one of the links was the same as the 1907 one just referred to.

Great reading for those interested when the snow flies, or even now if a person has lots of free time. I love those old books, and if my memory serves me well, and often times it doesn't, I have a few on a shelf somewhere and I thought I remembered that Craig L (nctomatoman)has the actual real book of the Tracy one noted here. Again, my memory was perfect until two weeks ago, well you know how it goes.

What's also interesting to me are some of the real old seed catalogs and a few folks I know have huge collections of those, most of them picked up off e-bay, a place where I don't go.
