TOMATOES 
CUl^TURE. Sow in hotbeds during March. When the 
plants have 4 leaves, transplant 4 to 5 inches apart, in shal¬ 
low boxes, and give 
Marglobe. 
plenty of air. Set out- 
of-doors as soon as 
danger from severe 
frosts is over. Seed 
may be sown in the 
open ground also at 
this time. Many plant¬ 
ers prefer training 
the plants to stakes 
and keeping them 
pruned. Use stakes 2 
inches square, 5 or 6 
feet long. The main 
stem and two branch¬ 
es should be saved, 
cutting the others off 
just beyond the first 
cluster of blossoms. 
This treatment allows 
all the fruits to develop to 
perfection and none are 
lost from rotting on the 
ground. One ounce should 
produce 3000 plants.
