No Vegetable Has More Uses Than the Tomato 



TOMATOES 



C0LTrEE. For early fruit, sow seed March 1 in the hotbed or in pots in a sunny exposure in the house. 

 When the plants are about 3 to 4 inches high they should be set out 4 to 5 inches apart in another hotbed 

 or coldframe into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. Expose to the air as much as possible to 

 harden, and about the middle of IVIay set the plants in the open ground at a distance of 4 to 5 feet each 

 way. Water freely at the time of transplanting and shelter from the sun for a few days until the plants are 

 established. 



Tomatoes will admit of training to stakes or trellis of various kinds. The usual method is to set one 

 strong plant to a stake, using stakes 5 to 7 feet liigh and tying the plant up with strong, soft twine. Prune 

 out quite freely as the \'ines advance in growth.

 tinue to bear fruit and retain its green
