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 generally sown too 

 thick, and become too crowded when two to three inches high, which 

 makes the plants too thin'aitd spindly. If they are transplanted when 

 two or 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 varie- 

 ties can be planted closer ; for instance for the Extra Early, which is 



Selected Trophy.
