Culture — For the first crop sow seeds of the earliest sorts 

 ler glass or in the house about the middle of February, 

 len they are 4 inches tall transplant them into flats or a 

 nt hotbed to stand 4 inches apart each way. Give plenty 

 lir on sunny days to harden properly. For the main crop, 

 r seeds of the second-early and main crop varieties in a 

 bed or warm cold-frame by April 1st. Plant outdoors, 3 

 t apart each way, about the end of May. One ounce of 

 d will produce about 2500 plants. The maturity dates 

 \en for Tomatoes represent days from setting the plants 

 doors. Allow an additional 6 to 7 weeks for plant pro- 

 :tion.

 an extra-heavy set of fruits. Used before pollination it 

 will result in seedless or nearly seedless Tomatoes.
