TOMATO—Continued 
CULTURE. Tomato seed should be planted in a box in 
the house or in hotbeds or greenhouse about the 1st of 
March, then transplanted once or twice to develop the 
roots to a good size before setting out in the open. Do 
not set out until all danger of frost is passed, as toma¬ 
toes are easily damaged by frost. 
Gould’s Early Standard Tomato—Reduced in Size 
Gould's Early Standard* 68 days 
Gould’s Early Standard Tomato is the result of many 
years of experimenting to obtain a meaty, heavy bear¬ 
ing tomato, that would produce early and continue to 
bear fruit until frost. 
It has no equal for the home garden or for market, be¬ 
ing an excellent keeper and shipper, fruit being firm, 
coloring beautifully, producing abundantly from early 
summer till frost. Flavor is unsurpassed. Unexcelled 
for canning. No expense has been spared to make Gould’s 
Early Standard the best tomato grown anywhere. Pkt.

I picked 1,160 ripe and 1 bushel of green tomatoes 
from 12 Gould’s Standard tomato plants which I 
purchased from you this spring. Best of all, the qual¬ 
ity of Gould’s Standard tomato is the best of any 
variety I have ever tried.
