Plant Burrell’s High Altitude Grown Tomato Seed 
For convenience we have classified tomatoes under the follow¬ 
ing headings: Home and Local Market, Canning, and Ship¬ 
ping. This does not necessarily mean that the variety under 
any particular heading is suitable for that use only. For in¬ 
stance, Norton coming under the heading of Canning Toma¬ 
toes is a very good shipper and fine for home use. It is mostly 
used, however, for canning purposes, and for this reason clas¬ 
sified as such. 
One oz. of seed will produce 3,000 to 4,000 plants. Allow some 
for safety. Days given are from setting of plants to marketable 
fruits. 
Everyone who plants a garden should reserve a part of it for 
tomatoes so that the family can have a fresh supply during a long 
season. No other cultivated plant bears so long and so abundantly 
and no other fruit carries with it greater health bearing elements. 
Cultural Instructions 
For early fruit, the seed should be sown in a hotbed about the 
first week in March in drills five inches apart; one-half inch deep. 
Later sowings may be made until the last of April. Sufficient plants 
for a small garden can be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow 
box and placing in a sunny window in the house. When the young 
plants are three to four inches high, these should be set 4 to 5 inches 
apart in another hotbed or cold frame or transplanted into small 
pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. Expose to the air as much 
as possible to harden them before planting out. Water freely at the 
time of transplanting into the open ground. Shelter from the sun a 
few days until the plants are thoroughly established. Cultivate as 
long as the vines will permit. The last two or three workings of 
the soil should be very shallow. 
If you wish information on the building and managing of hot¬ 
beds, let us know and we will send leaflet on this subject.
