ways. Our Tomato seed is produced under the supervision of ex- 
perienced and qualified seed-breeders; each individual type is rig- 
idly. selected and bred for earliness, productivity, and uniformity 
in size, shape, and color,

Tomatoes are much improved in ap- 
pearance and quality when trained to 
stakes. The usual method is to set 
one strong plant to a 5- or 6-foot 
stake, tying the plant up and pruning 
it quite freely as the vine advances 
in growth. One ounce will produce 
1500 plants; 4 to 6 ounces will fur- 
nish sufficient plants for an acre,
