OLDS’ TOMATOES 

Break o’ Day. 
431. BREAK O’ DAY. (70 days.) A new 
extra early, wilt-resistant tomato developed by 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Break 0’ 
Day matures with Earliana. The fruit resembles 
the famous Marglobe; it is the same color, shape 
and size and is the only early tomato of a deep 
globe shape. The fruits are solid with very few 
seeds and they will not crack. A _ bountiful 
yielder. Not satisfactory on all soils. Pkt., 10c; 
Y% 02., 35c; 0z., 65c; 4 1b., $2.00, postpaid, 


Rutger’s Tomato, 
450. RUTGER’S. Wilt and Rust Resist- 
ant. (72 days from setting plants.) A second- 
early variety developed by the New Jersey Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station. It is a cross be- 
tween Marglobe and J. T. D. and is very desir- 
able for market as well as for canning. The 
plant is large with thick stems and vigorous 
foliage. The fruits are similar to Marglobe but 
flat at the stem end. Bright red, smooth, with 
thick walls and small seed cells, very firm and 
of low acidity. We consider it one of the best 
varieties for juice and it is one of the few va- 
rieties that ripens from the center out. Pkt., 
10c; 2 02., 30c; 0z., 50c; 4 lb., $1.45, postpaid. 
440. STOKESDALE. (78 days.) An early 
tomato with main crop qualities. Fruits average 
8 ounces which are similar to Bonny Best, but 
slightly earlier and on the average will be 3 
ounces heavier and much more solid. Color is 
a brilliant searlet. Because of its earliness and 
excellent flavor and quality, it will prove very 
profitable for the market gardener. Pkt., 10c; 
Yo 0Z., 30C; 0z., 50c; % Ib., $1.50, postpaid. 



Stokesdale, 
Olds’ Tomato Seed is produced 
from tomatoes grown exclusively 
for seed. One packet will produce 
200 plants. Two to four ounces 
will produce enough plants for an 
acre. Tomatoes do well in practi- 
cally any garden soil. 
CULTURE: Start the seed in- 
doors about the last of February. 
When 2 inches high transplant to 
4 inches apart each way and again 
transplant to the open ground as 
soon as danger of freezing is over, 
in rows 38 to 6 feet each way. 
Some growers train the vines on 
trellises so that the fruit will ripen 
earlier. Use Hotkaps for this crop, 
listed below. The figure after the 
variety shows time of picking after 
setting plants.
