Tomatoes are sun-loving pli^nts and should be given an open position where they 

 will get the full benefit of the sun; never plant near or under trees. If possible, 

 support each plant by a stake and grow to one stem in the home garden. While 

 sun is needed to ripen the fruits, the plants must be given water regularly 

 during dry spells. To prevent blight, mildew and other fungus diseases, and 

 at the same time kill all leaf-eating insects, dust or spray your tomato plants 

 with Bordo-Lead. Be sure to grow a few plants of the small-fruited tomatoes 

 for serving whole in salads, or to make into preserves and pickles.
