Seed should be sown in January, in hot beds, or in boxes 

 which must be placed in a sheltered spot, or near windows. In 

 March they can be sown in the open ground. Tomatoes are gen- 

 erally sown too thick, and become too crowded when two to three 

 inches high, which makes the plants too thin and spindly. If 

 they are transplanted when two to three inches high, about three 

 inches apart each way, they will become short and sturdy, and 

 will not suffer when planted out into the open ground. Plant 

 them from three to four feet apart. Some varieties can be plant- 

 ed closer 5 for instance, for the Extra Early, which is of very 



Selected Trophy.
