An ounce will produce 2000 plants, enough for 4% 
acre. Early tomato plants should be started in- 
doors, allowing 4-8 weeks to produce plants for 
setting out. Feb. or Mar. is the proper time to sow 
seed in hot beds or shallow boxes in the house; 
rows 4-6 inches apart and 1% inch deep. When’ 
plants are 2 inches high transplant into 3-inch 
pots or shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. 
Transplant to open ground when all danger of 
frost is past, 3-4 ft. apart each way. 
Tomato plants should be hardened before setting 
in the field. This is best accomplished by with- 
holding water a few days previous to moving 
them to the field. An average production of fruits 
is 7 tons per acre, but it is not uncommon for 
_tomato growers to produce 10 to 20 tons per acre 
when they plant our Pennsylvania Certified To- 
mato Seed. In purchasing Landreth’s Pennsyl- 
vania Grown Tomato Seed, the buyer is certain of 
the absolute purity of what he buys; Every crop 
is produced from seed saved from hand-selected 
fruits of the preceding year, every one of the 
fruits being closely inspected and approved as to 
shape, color and internal structure. What is more 
important, the only fruits saved are from vines of 
approved type, vigor, yield qualities, and freedom 
from disease.

90 Days, plants. Large, coarse plants produc-

when small, becoming slightly flattened when 
they attain large size. Our strain has been 
selected for heavy yield. In a test at Pennsyl- 
vania State College, Landreths’ Certified Bonny 
Best produced the highest yield of marketable 
fruits of ‘the 10 varieties in the Second Early 
Group, and the largest average size of fruits. 
Break O’Day—95 Days, seed; 70 Days, plants. 
The vines of this variety are very open grow- 
ing and somewhat resemble Earliana in appear-

Greater Baltimore—105 Days, seed; 83 Days,

fully plant-selected for large sized fruits and 
for good red internal color and solid structure. 
The vines are vigorous and healthy, 
INDIANA BALTIMORE —110 Days, seed; 79

fruits are about the same size and shape.
