TOMATO 
HOW TO GROW TOMATOES. It is easy and economical 
to grow your own plants. Sow the seed in boxes in the house if 
you do not have a hot-bed; start in February or March. When 
seedlings are 3 inches tall, transplant them to 3-inch pots (paper 
or clay) or 4 inches apart in plant-boxes. A moderate tempera- 
ture and sun will make strong, sturdy plants. A packet of seed 
produces several hundred plants; one ounce, 3,000 plants; and 
6,000 plants will plant an acre which will yield from 5 to 10 or 
US KING-OF-ALL 
SCHELL’S 
STRAIN 
One of the grandest of all late or main-crop 
varieties. It is perfect in shape, very large in size, 
and unexcelled in quality. Semi-globe. 
King-of-All Tomato is a main-crop variety. Its 
wonderful yield is one of its greatest values, starting 
off, as it does, in season with the plants crowded full of 
clusters of the most beautiful big deep red Tomatoes, 
perfectly smooth right up to the stem, and it continues 
to bear them until stopped by the grower or by frost. 
Order it on my recommendation and I know you will 
be glad you did. Pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 ects.; oz.
