TOMATO 
One ounce zvill produce 1,000 plants. 
Sow in a hotbed about the first week in 
March, in drills five inches apart, and half 
an inch deep. Transplant to the open 
ground when all danger of frost is past, 
setting the plants 3 to 4 feet apart each 
way. Sufficient plants for a small garden 
may be started by sowing a few seeds in 
a shallow box or flower pot, and placing 
it in a sunny window of the room or 
kitchen. By training the vines on trel¬ 
lises or tying to stakes the fruit will ripen 
better and be of finer quality.
