CULTURE—Sow seed in hotbed in 
March or April, in rows 3 inches apart, 
covering the seed %-inch deep. Water 
with quite warm water. When the 
plants are 2 inches high, transplant Into 
flats 2 to 4 inches apart, or into 3 or 
4 in. pots. Set in open ground when 
all danger of frost is over, in rows 4 
to 6 feet apart and 3 feet apart In 
the row. Sprinkle a handful of ground 
bone in each hole before setting the 
plant. Tomatoes may be tied up to 
stakes with soft twine, and for the 
home-garden it is a good plan as the 
plants may be set closer together than 
if allowed to run at random.
