Important—Please Read—HYBRID TOMATOES 
Hybrid Tomatoes are strong, vigorous growers and outyield regular varie- 
ties, the extra quantities coming, in large measure, from the soil. It can be 
readily understood that because Hybrid Tomatoes have the ability to produce 
larger plants and higher yield they must be fed more than standard tomatoes. 
Therefore, to produce a maximum crop of large fruits, we recommend that you 
maintain good fertility and moisture in your soil. For this purpose, it is desir- a 
able to make your fertilizer application at the time of planting and, if possible, i 
cover the ground around the plants with well-rotted manure when plants aut 
begin to bloom or set their first fruit. Keep well watered during dry spells. u 
Each hybrid tomato seed is produced by hand pollination which requires a 
great deal of work and entails a heavy expense. We strongly urge that special 
care and attention be given to the sowing of the seed and the growing of the 
crop. Extra care will repay you in better fruits and a bigger yield.
