Tomatoes are a warm season crop which require a relatively long growing period. For a heavy 
yield from plants growing throughout the main portion of the season, well-drained soil, retentive of 
moisture, is essential. Tomatoes for market and shipping are usually planted earlier than for canning 
crop. 
Direct seeding of tomatoes in the field, a comparatively new phase in the tomato industry, has 
proven to be a satisfactory method of crop production. It is a recommended method for canners 
and shippers in the general tomato producing areas, except in the extreme northern sections of the 
United States. For further information on this subject, write for our booklet, Growing Tomatoes 
by Direct Seeding.” 

These 1% pound sealed boxes of Keystone Tomato Seeds are familiar to thousands of growers. Available now
