Wholesome and delicious whether used raw, cooked, or canned. 
Culture—For the first crop sow seeds of the earliest sorts 
under glass or in the house about the middle of February. 
When they are 4 inches tall transplant them into flats or a 
spent hotbed to stand 4 inches apart each way. Give plenty 
of air on sunny days to harden properly. For the main crop, 
sow seeds of the second-early and main crop varieties in a 
hotbed or warm cold-frame by April 1st. Plant outdoors, 3 
feet apart each way, about the end of May. One ounce of 
seed will produce about 2500 plants. The maturity dates 
given for Tomatoes represent days from setting the plants 
outdoors.
