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. 
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 
igs over, in rows 8 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. 
For prices on larger quantities see our Wholesale 
Market Gardeners’ Price List, opposite page 5.

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

Buying Seeds 
We doubt whether any other business is 
built up and maintained on character and con- 
fidence to the extent of the seed business. 
Nor is the purchaser so dependent on the 
knowledge and integrity of the seller in any 
other business. It is impossible for any one 
to tell by looking at seed whether it will 
grow or whether it will produce the kind of 
crop desired. Buying seed then is largely a 
matter of confidence. We are gratified to 
know that our customers realize this and that 
for over half a century they have depended 
upon us for their seads. As a result of this 
confidence many new orders are sent us each 
year solely because friends had recommended 
us to them. If you like our seeds tell your 
friends. Free catalog will be mailed upon 
request.
