Tomatoes 
T o m a t oes succeed 
best in well manured, 
light sandy soil. For 
early plants sow seed 
in boxes or hotbeds in 
January. When the 
plants are about two 
inches high transplant 
to four inches apart 
each way. Set out of 
doors as soon as dan¬ 
ger of frost is over. 
Transplant carefully, 6 
feet apart each way, 
and cultivate well as 
long as vines will per¬ 
mit. To obtain early 
fruit pinch off the ends 
of the branches when 
the first fruit is set. 
Our seed stock is of 
the very best selection. 
One ounce of seed for 
2,000 plants.
