Seed should be sown as early as possible after danger of frost is past. 

 In the spring burn a quantity of brush and rubbish on the ground in- 

 tended for the seed bed; then dig and pulverize the earth and mix with 

 the ashes, after which the seed may be sown and covered very lightly. 

 When the plants are about 6 inches high, transplant into rows, 4 or 43^ 

 feet apart each way. Cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.

TOMATO 



At our Experimental Gardens near Detroit, tomato seed is usually 

 planted indoors about May 1st. We use shallow boxes or "flats" and 

 plant in rows about 2 inches apart. As soon as the seedlings are about 

 an inch tall, they are "pricked out" into a larger box and spaced about 

 4 inches apart. Rich loose soil should be used. When the weather has 

 moderated, the plants should gradually be hardened off to the tempera- 

 ture outside. This can be done in a warm sheltered spot where they can 

 be protected at night and in case of frost. About 6 weeks after seed is 

 sown, the plants are ready for their permanent location. By taking note 

 of the probable date of the last killing frost in spring in his own locality, 

 every gardener can determine approximately the best time for trans- 

 planting to his garden. See page 4. (No. of days indicated are from the 

 time the plants are set in the garden.)
