TOMATO. (Léedes Apfel.) 
Sow thinly about the first week in March in a hot-bed, greenhouse, window or sitting room, where the temperature is never below 60°. 
‘When two inches high set out the plants in boxes, about four inches apart, or pot singly. If again transplanted before setting out, the 
plants will be greatly benefitted. About the first of June they may be transferred to the open ground. Set them deeply, four feet apart, 
and a shovelful of rotted manure should be mixed in the earth of each hill. For early Tomatoes choose a sunny knoll and light sandy loam, 
if possible. If the vines are trained on trellis the fruit will be finer and larger. There are about two thousand Tomato seeds in an ounce.
