TOMATOES (LiEBESAPTEi.) 



Beauty Tomatoes. 



Sow the seed in late February or early 

 March, in the hotbed or a box indoors placed 

 in a sunny window. WTien the plants are 

 2 to 3 inches hig-h, 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 oc- 

 casional application of nitrate of soda will 

 push the young nlants along rapidly. Sow 

 three or four different varieties in order to 

 have a succession of fruit all Summer. Sup- 

 porting the plants with stakes or trellis will 

 increase the yield. 



One ounce of seed will produce about 

 2000 plants.
