A&M TOMATOES 
Culture—2 oz. seeds per acre planted in seed bed; 1 lb. to acre field planted; 1 oz. seed for 
2,000 plants. Transplant from seed bed in rows 4 to 6 feet apart and 3 to 6 feet apart in the 
rows according to the variety. The varieties of upright growth can be spaced closer than the 
vining types. Plant deep so that the roots may be in the cool earth. The time of planting and 
variety depend upon your local market, soil and climatic conditions, and the purpose for 
which they are grown. Number of days to maturity is from planting of seeds in beds. 
414 Ace—An excellent canning, shipping and 
home garden variety, introduced by Dr. Porter 
of the Campbell Soup Company. The vine is 
determinate with medium green foliage. When 
the Ace starts to turn pink it turns at the same 
time all over the tomato so that the stem end 
becomes pink at the same time as the blossom 
end. It then turns to a rich, deep red all over. 
The flesh is a most appetizing, rich, bright red 
with no hard core, and is exceptionally sweet 
and full flavored. The fruit is large semi-globe, 
often weighing up to 12 ounces. It is a heavy 
yielder and is about 10 days earlier than the 
Pearson. Pkt. 15c.
