Culture — Planting time, Southern States, Spring, December to March, in hotbed; in open 

 ground to June; Fall, September to November in open ground. Plant 1/2 ounce to 150 feet 

 of row. One ounce ■will produce about 3000 plants. Transplant from hotbed when plants 

 are 6 inches high to open ground, 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Tomatoes require rich, well 

 pulverized soil. If danger of frost is not over when transplanted, plants must be covered at 

 night -whenever there is danger of frost. To protect them from insects dust with Arsenate of 

 Lead, powdered form, about 2 weeks after transplanting and at 2-week intervals thereafter.
