 root may be made in the spring before growth has 

 started. 



Thyme requires plenty of sunlight and a light, dry 

 soil. Given an occasional bit of cultivation to

TOMATOES 



\ 



Tomatoes are one of the most satisfactory of 

 vegetables. They will grow in almost any kind of 

 soil but thrive best in a fairly rich loam. They 

 require plenty of sunlight in order to grow quickly. 



To have an early crop of tomatoes start planting 

 the seed in the North about the first of March; in 

 the South, earlier than this. They may be 

 planted in a hotbed or flat in the warm zone but 

 should be kept in a greenhouse in a cold climate, 

 until ready for transplanting. 



Late tomatoes may be started the last of April, 

 and generally the tomatoes from a late planting 

 are superior to those planted earlier.
