Juicy, Luscious Tomatoes Are full of Healt/i-Giving Vitamins 



Culture — Planting time, Southern States, Spring, 

 December to March, in hotbed; in open ground to 

 June; Fall, September to November in open ground. 

 Plant Vi ounco in 150 feet of row. One ounce will 

 produce about 3000 plants. Transplant from hot- 

 bed 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 from 

 insects dust with Arsenate of Lead, powdered form, 

 about 2 weeks after transplanting and at 2-week 

 intervals thereafter. Approximate number of days 

 from time of planting seed to edible conditions is 

 given after each variety. This varies due to climatic 

 and soil conditions.
