ROYAL QUALITY SEEDS 
TOMATOES 

CULTURE— Are among 
the most delicious of our 
finest vegetables and can 
be raised successfully from 
the seed with a little care 
and attention. Sow the seed 
in the _ hot-bed, shallow 
boxes or flower pots, about 
six weeks before time for 
transplanting in the gar- 
den or field. About March 
is the usual time for sow- 
ing. In May, set in the 
open ground about 38 feet 
apart each way. Is a good 
idea to stake or trellis the 
fruit. One ounce will give 
1,500 plants. Use 4 ounces 
to the acre for transplant- 
ing.

among shippers and home 
growers. Its uniform, 
smooth, medium sized pur- 
plish pink fruit grows in 
clusters of 4 or 5, is solid, 
free from cracks and a 
good shipper. Flesh is fine 
in texture, and slightly acid.

mended by the U. S. De- 
partment of Agriculture as
