Protect your early Tomato plants with Hotkaps 

 Tomatoes of Quality 



LlEBESAPFEL (GeT.) PoMO D'ORO (Ital.) 



One ounce of seed will produce about 2500 plants. 



Sow seed in March in hotbed, or in flats placed in a warm, sunny window. When 

 2 to 3 inches high, transplant to stand 3 to 4 inches apart each way. Ventilate on 

 sunny days to harden plants and to prevent them from growing spindly. Do 

 not set the plants out in the open until all danger of frost is past.
