TOMATO. 
German, Siebe^apfet. French, Tomate. 1 oz. for 1,500 plants. 
This delicious vegetable is one of the most important of all garden products. The seeds 
should be sown in a hotbed about the first week in March, in drills 5 inches apart and half 
an inch deep. About the middle of 
May the plants may be set in open 
ground. They are planted, for early 
crops, on light, sandy soil, at a distance 
of 3 feet apart, in hills in which a good 
shovelful of rotted manure has been 
mixed. On heavy soils, which are not 
suited for an early crop, they should be 
planted 4 feet apart. Water freely at 
the time of transplanting, and shelter 
from the sun a few days until the plants 
are established. Sufficient plants for 
a small garden may be started by sow- 
ing a few seeds in a shallow box or 
flower pot and placing it in a sunny 
window.
