TOMATO 
CULTURE. Sow in hot beds or frame early in September for Winter crop in frostless beds or 
in early Spring for Summer crop. Does best in light warm soil, but if handsome fruit and 
plentiful crop is desired, very rich soil should be selected and good cultivation given. Sow 
the seed thinly in a well protected Hot-bed from January to March 1st. The first transplant¬ 
ing should take place when the plants are large enough to handle. Transplant in rows 5 to 
6 inches apart, setting the plants 2 to 3 inches apart. If transplanted in fields, set the plants 
6x6 square feet apart to 8x8 square feet. It is not safe to transplant to their permanent 
places until May 1, as they are extremely sensitive to frost. Soil should be plowed and pul¬ 
verized to depth of 10 to 12 inches. The deeper the better in order that the roots may keep 
in the cool earth. As soon as the roots are heated by the hot, dry soil near the surface, the 
plants quickly sicken and die. Use */2 to 2 ounces of seed per acre.
