All-America Gold Medal 1935 Increasingly used for canning in areas of shorter season TOMATO Native to tropical America, formerly called Love Apple New varieties and new strains are being developed at our breeding grounds, and older varieties improved through individual cultures produced under expert handling. Disease resistance, attractiveness of color, thickness of walls, and heavy cropping qualities, have been attained to a high degree. The number of days indicated represents the time required from setting of plants to produce marketable fruits. It takes 4 to 5 weeks to produce plants for field setting. Varieties listed in larger type are important, widely used ones. We are also furnishing stocks of leading canning and shipping varieties, certified as to purity and freedom from disease by various State Departments of Agriculture. Culture: Tomatoes thrive on various types of zvell-enriched soils but strong sandy loam is preferable. Sow seed in hotbeds in March and April and transplant to field in June when danger of frost is past. Set plants 3 to 4 feet apart in the row with 4 to 5 feet between rows. One ounce of seed will produce about 2500 plants; 2 to 3 ounces will plant an acre. In localities where seed is sozvn in the field without transplanting, 1 to 2 pounds are required per acre.
