Tomatoes succeed best in well manured, light sandy 
soil. For early plants sow seed in boxes or hotbeds in 
January. When the plants are about two inches high* 
transplant to four inches apart each way. Set out of door* 
as soon as danger of frost is over. Transplant carefully, 
six feet apart each way, and cultivate well as long a# 
vines will permit. To obtain early fruit pinch off the end* 
of the branches when the first fruit is set. Our seed stocM 
is of the very best selection. One ounce of seed for 2660
