Tomatoes as Only America Can Grow Them 



The average packet of standard sorts (not novelties) contains 500 

 seeds of which, as a rule, 300 plants can be raised. One dozen plants 

 each of an early pink and purple sort and two dozen ^plants of two main 

 crop varieties supply all the tomatoes a family of sis can eat, with a 

 surplus of 5 bushels for canning — under favorable soil and season con- 

 ditions. 



Beets That Are Fit to be Eaten 



The regulation packet will sow 20 feet of row. For a constant sup- 

 ply sow a fifteen foot row every week from the middle of April until 

 August first. One ounce each of an early midseason and late sort pro- 

 vides enough beets throughout summer, fall and winter.
