TOMATO 
CULTURE—When the plants are to be raised, 
the seed should be sown in March, in a hotbed or 
greenhouse; or they may be sown in a box and kept 
inside the window of a room where the night tem¬ 
perature is not less than 65 degrees. The plants 
should be thinned out in the bed so as to give them 
plenty of room, or they will be weak and poor. They 
should also be set in the open 
ground from 3 to 4 fet apart 
each way. Our stock of tomatoes 
is grown by several of the best 
growers. One ounce produces 
about 1,500 plants.
