OLDS' TOMATOES 
Olds’ Tomato Seed is produced from tomatoes grown 
exclusively for seed. One packet will produce 200 plants. 
Two to four ounces will produce enough plants for an 
acre. Tomatoes do well in practically any garden soil 
and take up little space. No home garden is complete 
without them. 
WILT AND RUST-RESISTANT 
VARIETIES 
428. PRITCHARD. (76 days.) The new Pritchard 
is without doubt the best of the disease-resistant varie¬ 
ties. It resists the nail-head disease and also the tomato 
wilt. In appearance it is similar to Marglobe. Scarlet in 
color, of good size and shape, the fruits borne in clusters 
of 5 and produced in abundance. It is a mid-season 
variety requiring about 110 days to ripen from seed. 
About 5 days earlier than Marglobe. The vine is short 
jointed and of low growth with heavy foliage. Pkt., 10c; 
i/ 2 oz., 20c; oz., 36c; Vi lb., $1.06, postpaid. 
Break o’ Day. 
Marglobe. 
431. BREAK O’ DAY. (70 days.) A new extra early, wilt-resistant tomato devel¬ 
oped by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Break o’ Day matures with Earliana. The 
fruit resembles the famous Marglobe; it is the same color, shape and size and is the 
only early tomato of a deep globe shape. The fruits are solid with very few seeds and 
they will not crack. A bountiful yielder. Not satisfactory on all soils. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 
25c; oz., 40c; y 4 lb., $1.20, postpaid. 
433. MARGLOBE. (80 days.) The perfect tomato. Wilt-resistant and rust-resistant. 
A new variety that is attracting a lot of attention. Resists nail-head rust and fusarium 
wilt. Has proven successful under the most severe test. Pure scarlet in color, globular 
in shape, extra large, smooth, early, beautiful in appearance and very productive. Above 
all, the quality is most excellent. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 15c; oz., 30c; V4 lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
426. SCARLET DAWN. (70 days.) Our new wilt and rust-resistant tomato. Deep 
red color, round, globe-shaped and earlier than Marglobe or Pritchard. We think this 
is an outstanding tomato which is going to be very popular. See page 9 for complete 
description. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 40c; oz., 70c; y 4 lb., $2.05, postpaid. 
CULTURE: Start the 
seed indoors about the last 
of February. When 2 inches 
high transplant to 4 inches 
apart each way and again 
transplant to the open 
ground as soon as danger 
of freezing is over, in rows 
3 to 6 feet each way. Some 
growers train the vines on 
trellises so that the fruit 
will ripen earlier. Use Sage 
Hi-Caps for this crop. See 
page 33. The figure after 
the variety shows time of 
picking after setting plants.

days.) Probably the largest and 
meatiest tomato in existence.

is the variety to plant. We do 
not consider the quality equal 
to some of the smaller varieties
