Frank likes to pick Victor tomatoes for the plants are small and 
can be set close. The tomatoes are all in the center of the plant 
and easy to reach. 

Aksel Jensen of Geneva, N. Y. had this picture taken to send to 
relatives in his native Denmark. Last year for the first time Aksel 
produced trellis-grown Comet tomatoes. He plans to increase his 
acreage this year. Mr. Jensen also grows our John Baer; our 
early and midseason cabbage and hybrid sweet corn. He finds 
there is always a good market for well grown vegetables from 
quality seed.
