All our tomato seeds are grown from stocks, exclusively for seed purposes, by the originators, experienced grow- 
ers and experts. We are fully convinced of the merit of all varieties before offering them in our catalog, and can 
strongly recommend our strains as being absolutely reliable. 
For early, the seed should be sown in hotbeds during February or the first week in March, in drills 5 inches 
apart and half an inch deep. Later sowing may be made until the last of April. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches 
high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allow- 
ing a single plant to the pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water freely at time of transplanting, 
and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Set out May 5th to 10th according to weather 
(or 3 weeks earlier if protected with Hotkaps) spacing 3 to 5 ft. apart. Cultivate thoroughly as long as the vines 
will permit, but the last two or three workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especially 
if the cultivator is run too near the plants.
