TOMATOES 



Sow the seed in late February or early March, 

 in the hotbed or a box indoors placed in a sunny 

 window. When the plants are 2 to 3 inches 

 high, transplant them to other boxes or paper 

 pots, and transplant again if possible when 

 about 6 inches high, to make them stocky and 

 stimulate root growth. Set the plants in the 

 garden, 3 to 4 feet apart in late May. A rich, 

 moist, loamy soil is best for Tomatoes. An 

 occasional application of nitrate of soda will 

 push the young plants along rapidly. Sow three 

 or four different varieties in order to have a 

 succession of fruit all summer. Supporting the 

 plants with stakes or trellis will increase the 

 yield. 



One ounce of seed will produce about 2.000 plants
