Maule's Tomatoes 



No other vegetable is as indispensable in the home garden or on the farm as Tomatoes. 

 In order to provide for a continuous supply of fresh luscious fruits, gardeners should plant 

 varieties which will mature in succession. A moderately rich soil is best suited for growing 

 tomatoes. Sow the seed in February or March in a hot bed, greenhouse, or in shallow boxes 

 placed in a sunny window. Cover the seed Yi in. deep and when the young seedlings are 

 about 2 in. tall, transplant to boxes or other parts of the frame. They are ready for setting 

 into the field after all danger of frost has passed. One packet gives 100 plants; an ounce 

 3,500 plants for an acre.
