Culture. For first early Tomatoes select varieties of the earliest types, and start the plants under glass during February. When plants are 2 inches 

 high, transplant into flats, thumb pots or plant boxes, and later on transplant again, giving more room. Never crowd the plants, but keep thera short and 

 stocky. Plants already in bhxim or wit!i fruit set, if in wooden plant boxes or in pots, may be transplanted to the open ground without disturbing their roots, 

 and will continue to bloom and fruit without check. Set these sorts 4 feet apart each way in warm, mellow soil of fair fertility as soon as danger from be- 

 lated frost is past. For main crop, the plants can be started somewhat later, in hotbed or cold frame, once transplanted to keep thera stocky, and then set 

 in open ground, in fairly good warm soil, o feet apart each way. One ounce of seed will produce from 3,000 to 4,000 plants.
