Tomate, FR. 
_ Pomo d’oro, ITAL. 
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. Allow an additional 6 to 7 weeks for plant pro- 
duction.

We highly recommend the use of Fruitone (see page 
87) as a spray for Tomato blossoms in order to secure 
an extra-heavy set of fruits. Used before pollination it 
will result in seedless or nearly seedless Tomatoes.
