Tomatoes 



(Liebesapfel) 



Sow the seed in late February or early March, in the hotbed 

 or a box indoors placed in a sunny window. When the plants 

 are 2 to 3 inches high, transplant them to other boxes or paper 

 pots, and transplant again, if possible, when about 6 inches high, 

 to make them stocky and stimulate root growth. Set the plants 

 in the garden, 3 to 4 feet apart in late May. A rich, moist, loamy 

 soil is best for Tomatoes. An occasional application of nitrate 

 of soda will push the young plants along rapidly. Sow 3 or 

 4 different varieties in order to have a succession of fruit all 

 summer. Supporting the plants with stakes or trellis will in- 

 crease the yield. 



One ounce of seed 

 will produce about 

 2000 plants.
