/•'. V. & N. Co. 
I'Ve had about one and one-third acres in tomatoes. 
We planted only seeds from the Farmer Seed Com¬ 
pany and the praise and compliments that came from 
our customers were wonderful. I have never beheld 
such magnificent and prolific tomatoes—the size is 
enormous. After I sold all I wanted to, I gave the 
rest away and 1 could not begin to get rid of them. 
When it froze there were still about one-half bushel 
at each plant.
