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 teet 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, weU 

 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. Approx- 

 imate number of days from time of planting seed to edible condition is 

 given after each variety. This varies due to climatic and soil conditions.
