Olds^ Wilt and Rust-Resistant Tomatoes 
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, listed below. The figure after the va¬ 
riety shows time of picking after setting plants.

Market Gardeners’ Price List, opposite page 5. 
431. BREAK O’ DAY. (70 days.) A new 
extra early, wilt-resistant tomato developed 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., lOc;

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., 5c; V 2 oz., 15c; oz.,

nail-head disease and also the tomato wilt.

the fruits borne in clusters of 5 and pro¬ 
duced in abundance. It is a mid-season 
variety requiring about 110 days to ripen 
from seed. About 5 days earlier than Mar¬ 
globe. The vine is short jointed and of 
low growth with heavy foliage. Pkt., 5c;

PLANT MUCH EARLIER 
GROWTH VERY RAPID— 
Growth is forced very rapidly from the start due to the even 
temperature and ideal growing conditions afforded by this plant 
cover. Moisture is retained, crusting prevented, and a perfect 
mulch maintained around each plant. With these advantages, a 
much larger and hardier plant is formed weeks earlier than 
normal. The first few weeks of plant life without proper protec¬ 
tion are beset with peril—frost, hail, wind, rain, sometimes heat, 
cut worms, insects, birds, animals—all take their toll. The SAGE 
HI-CAP has been scientifically and practically designed against 
these evils and the assurance of a large and earlier crop makes 
the purchase and placing costs of these “individual hothouses’’ 
of minor importance.
