CURRIE BROTHERS CO. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN 
Currie’s Select Tomato Seed 
Culture—Sow the seed in a hot-bed the first week in March, in drills half an-inch deep. When the plants are about two inches high, 
transplant into another hot-bed or into small pots, one in each pot; in that way the plants are strengthened and branch out better. Set the 
plants out about the first of June, about three 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 transplanting, 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 by 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 oz. to 1,500 plants, 14 lb. for transplanting on an acre.
