CULTURE.—Seed should be sown in January, in hot beds, or in boxes, which 
must be placed in a sheltered spot, or near windows. 
In March they can be sown 
in open ground. Tomatoes are generally sown too thick and become too crowded 
when two or three inches high, which makes the plants thin and spindly. 
If they 
are transplanted when two or three inches high, about three inches apart each 
way, they will become short and sturdy, and will not suffer when planted into 
the open ground. Plant them from three to four feet apart. 
Some varieties can 
be planted closer; for instance, the extra Early, which is of very dwarfish habit, 
two and half feet apart is enough. 
allowed to grow up wild, the fruit which touches the ground will rot. 
They should be supported by stakes. 
When 
For a late. 
or fall crop the seed should be sown toward the latter part of May or during June. 
Large Yellow. This is similar in shape 
to the Large Red, but more solid. 
Livingston’s Perfection. A very de- 
sirable early variety, which is more large- 
ly grown than any of its class. The 
fruit is almost round, ripens clear up to 
the stem, is solid, and rich in flavor; the 
skin is both thin and tough, making it a 
good shipper, while its clear, bright 
scarlet color makes it very attractive in 
appearance. 5
