CULTURE — Start plants in warm place about eight weeks 
before field planting. If possible transplant to cold frame 
when 2 inches high. We recommend tying plants to stakes 
and pruning for earliest biggest and healthiest tomatoes. Use 
several varieties so as to have plenty of late and early toma¬ 
toes. This is one of the finest foods to grow. They are very 
rich in vitamines. Tomatoes do best in a rich well manured 
soil.
