Cl'LTl'RE OF TOMATO Seed may be started In hot-bed In March, or surticlent plants for family use can be grown In 



pots or boxe« Indoors with very little" trouble. Be particular to iilve plants the betietlt ot fresh air and sun whenever 

 jndlclous, for the purpose ot hardening them, and cover with mats when necessary to prevent them from irostlni:. The two 

 extremes of heat and cold are eiiually injurious. It Is customary with the best yaideners to remove the pants from the 

 hot-l>eds to the cold frames, allowing a distance of several inches between the plants. In May select and prepare the soil, 

 and set the plants three feet each way. Hoe and draw earth t'. the st»-ms. When the plants crowd the fruit will be small, 

 Have the soil very rich. For general crop, sow from the middle of April or during May In the open air, selecting good soil 

 In a location mucn exposed to the snn and sheltered by a bill, fence, or woods on me north. 



All our Tomato seeds are grown expressly for seed and are the best the world produces.
