TOMATOES for Juice, Soup or Just Good Eating 



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

 ground to June; Fall, September to November in open ground. Plant V2 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.
