SELECT TOMATO SEED 
CULTURE—For early plants sow during February or March in shallow boxes of light, rich soil, placed in a 
sunny window, and when 2 inches high, transplant to other boxes. Or sow in hot beds in drills 5 inches apart 
and half inch deep and transplant when 2 inches high into hot beds setting them 4 inches apart. Do not plant 
outside until all danger from frost is over. Then set in hills 4 feet apart each way. The best soil for tomatoes 
is very rich, sandy loam, but they will do well on any well-drained, well-manured land and even in poor soil will 
produce better than most crops. If stems of plants when planted out are very long they should be partly buried 
under ground. Water freely at time of transplanting and give constant and thorough cultivation. For late use, 
sow seed in open ground during May and early June, and transplant to permanent location as soon as large 
enough. These plants will provide fruits during fall months when earlier settings have become exhausted by 
continuous bearing during hot, dry weather. 
1 ounce for 2,000 plants, 3 ounces sufficient for an acre.
