SQng'S; Select Tomatoes 
No Tomato Plants by Mail. 
Culture: Sow the seed in boxes in the 
house or in hot bed 6 to 8 weeks before time 
to set out. Tomato seed must be kept warm 
to start it. (Same with pepper seed.) If 
come up thick, thin at once. When plants 
have 5 leaves transplant to shallow boxes or 
cold frames. Set plants 3 to 4 inches apart. 
Gradually harden them off by exposing to 
outdoor air to get stalky, sturdy plants. 
Set plants deep in garden or field, about 
three feet apart.

"Keep the Ball a-Rolling" 
The old idea with many folks was to have 
one big spring gardening spasm, followed by 
spasmodic cultivation, and let it go at that. 
But now, with garden space so valuable, and 
produce from the garden so expensive, and 
also more appreciated when it is fresh, we are 
learning how to get the greatest efficiency 
from our gardens. 
Companion and succession crops are plan¬ 
ned, to use space to best advantage and for 
as long a portion of the season as possible. 
Companion crops are early and late maturing 
kinds grown in alternate rows, so that when 
the early crop is off the late one may occupy 
the whole space for balance of the season. 
For instance, early radish, beets, lettuce, may 
go between rows of cabbage, tomatoes, squash 
or melons. 
Succession crops are those following each 
other. The ground used for green onions from 
sets, radish, lettuce or early peas, may be 
used after these crops are off for celery, late 
sweet corn, beans or turnips. Two, three or 
even four crops of some things may be grown 
one after the other in a season.
