Olds’ Tomato Seed is produced from tomatoes 
grown exclusively for seed. One packet will pro¬ 
duce 200 plants. Two to four ounces will pro¬ 
duce 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. 
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. Seepage 53. The figure after the va¬ 
riety shows time of picking after setting plants.

Market Gardeners’ Price List, page 55.
