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 tal] transplant 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 ist. 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 Tomatues represent days from 
selling the plants outdoors.
