Tomato seed-saving operations. Every precaution is taken against seed-borne disease germs. First 
the plants were started in sterilized soil in the greenhouse, then set out in selected fields. Now the 
seed is thoroughly fermented and disinfected with corrosive sublimate, each step being conducted 
under completely sanitary conditions.
