Manns’ Improved Advance 
TOMATOES 
1 oz. to 2,000 plants; % Ib. per acre. 
All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced growers and 
experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all new varieties before placing them in our catalog, and therefore strongly 
recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. 
For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and 
half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches high they should 
be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the 
pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a 
few days until the plants are established. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three 
workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultivator is run too near the plants
