Sow the seed in March in a hotbed. When the plants are two 
or three inches high, thin them out and set in pots, or set in 
another bed to give them room and make them ‘ 1 stocky. ” When 
five or six inches high, if the weather be warm and settled, 
transplant to the open ground, setting the plants four feet apart 
each way. The Tomato requires a sunny location and rich soil 
to produce handsome specimens and a good crop. One ounce of 
seed will produce 3,000 plants.
