C. C. MORSE! & CO.— SEEDS— SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. 
TOMATO 
A» tomatoes are very sensitive to frost, they cannot be set in the open field until about May 1st. The seed must be sown in well- 
protected hotbeds, sowing same about March 1st. A hardy and stocky plant is had by transplanting the small plants in the bed a few 
weeks before transplanting to the field. Or when about four inches high the top may be pinched off and the plant grows stockier. 
Sow the seed broadcast, using one ounce to about 30 square feet of area, which will yield plants enough to set an acre. In the field 
set tall varieties six feet apart and dwarf varieties four feet apart. A slight trellis is advisable in the garden. Good soil produces the 
best fruit, but it is not necessary that it be excessively rich. Too frequent watering, especially spraying the plant, is injurious to tomatoes 
in the home garden, but a moderate amount of water should be applied at the roots at regular intervals.
