GERMAIN’S 
^VEGETABLE SEEDS 
TOMATOES 
Gitomato Liebesapfel Tomato. 
Sow the seed in frame or sheltered bed. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin 
them out and set them in pots or in another bed, to give them room and make them “stocky.” 
When 5 or 6 inches high, if the weather be warm and settled, transplant them to open ground, se¬ 
lecting a rainy day if possible; in the absence of rain, water and protect till well rooted. Set 
plants 4 feet apart each way; support by driving two or three stakes around each plant and en¬ 
circle with as many barrel hoops; this will serve to keep the fruit off the ground. One ounce of 
seed will produce 3000 plants. The tomato requires a rather light soil to ripen early, but if hand¬ 
some fruit and a plentiful crop be desired, very rich soil should be selected.
