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. 
The figure after the variety shows 
time of picking after setting plants. 
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, see 
page 6. Start plants in plant bands.

soil. Its outstanding feature is earli- 
ness, with quality, being about five 
days ahead of Stokesdale and Bonny 
Best. Large size and strong interior 
Structure. Vine growth about equal 
to EKarliana and not heavy enough to 
protect fruit from burning in continu- 
ous sunny weather. Will have ample 
vine growth on heavier soils. Quality 
of fruit is excellent. Pkt., 10c; 4/2 0z.,

grown because of its extreme earliness combined 
with large size. The open spreading vines are 
medium in size but very vigorous. Fruit is a 
bright scarlet, flat globed in shape, thick skin, 
and borne in clusters. Our strain is selected for 
smooth fruits. An old-time favorite with north- 
ern gardeners. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 45c; 1 0z., 80c;

: Bounty. 
452, BOUNTY or VICTOR. (65 days.) The ‘past 
few years several varieties of early determinate vine or 
self-topping tomatoes have been introduced and Bounty, 
in our Opinion, is the finest. In the home garden this 
variety will prove very popular as it is early, an excep- 
tionally heavy yielder; and will produce the finest quality 
tomatoes on plants spaced as close as three feet apart. 
Bounty was developed at the North Dakota Agricultural 
Experiment Station from a cross between the All Red 
‘variety, a ‘station introduction in 1937, and Break O’Day,. 
For the home garden in the North or for first early mar- 
ket this variety leads the list. PkKt., 10c; 4% oz., 35c; oz.,
