TOMATOES 



Do best in sandy, well pulverized 

 loam. Sow seed in hotbed or iri- 

 doors. When plants are about 2" 

 high, set out 3" apart, in boxes or 

 pots — later transplant into the gar- 

 den. Or keep in flats until weather 

 is warm and settled, and then set 

 plants out directly into the garden. 

 Water around the roots of the plants 

 when setting them out if ground is 

 dry. Cultivate frequently until plants 

 shade the ground. Remove all but 

 the two or three strongest branches. 

 Study methods of staking and train- 

 ing vines and adopt the one best 

 suited to your situation.
