ORDINARY PACKETS 
Often times you’ll find the seed 
packets you find in some grocery and 
department stores who have a few 
odds and ends of seeds are in big 
papers, but the amount of seed they 
hold is MIGHTY SMALL. 

GURNEY PACKETS 
Gurney’s packets often hold 3 
TIMES the amount of seed of ordi- 
nary packets. They’re made extra- 
generous because we believe in giv- 
ing you your money's worth and a 
little more.

Crop from ORDINARY 
STORE SEEDS 
Crops from ordinary stores 
seeds often run irregular, 
runty, not true-to-type. They 
then aren’t worth the trouble 
it takes to plant and care for 
them, let alone the cost of the 
seed. Your results are no bet- 
ter than the seeds you plant, 
so don’t take a chance on seed 
you're not sure of. No use risk- 
ing an entire crop on cheap 
seeds.

For years we have been experimenting with many varieties of tomatoes. As you probably 
know it takes a pretty good tomato to grow successful crops up here in the Northern States. 
We have no hesitancy in saying any tomatoes listed in the Gurney catalog will make success- 
ful crops for you in either of the Dakotas or in the surrounding states. When you buy tomatoes 
from Gurney’s you are buying the very best. 
We have tried hundreds of different varieties and have selected only those that are well suited 
to this general territory every one of which is dependable and will give you a maximum of 
the best well fleshed tomatoes. i 
Because of our short seasons you should start the tomato seedlings in the house, in the hot 
bed or in a cold frame real early. Have good vigorous stocky plants ready to start blooming ~ 
when frost danger is over. Tomatoes like reasonably rich soil but don’t fertilize them too 
heavily. If your garden is exposed to hot southwest winds be sure to plant your tomatoes on 
the protected side. Plant them on the north or east side of corn, castor beans or buildings. 
This will help insure maximum erop. 
One packet of seed is generally enough for plants for hundred feet of row. One ounce of seed 
should grow 2,000 plants if you have good luck with them. You will find complete culture 




printed on the packets.
