LETHERMAN’S SEED HOUSE, Canton, Ohio 
TOMATO 
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants. 2 to 3 ounces to the acre. 
CULTURE—Sow the seed in February or March in hotbed, greenhouse or in shallow boxes in 
the house. When plants are about 2 inches high transplant to flats 4 inches apart or in 3 inch 
pots. Expose to air on warm days to harden. Transplant to the open ground when all danger of 
frost is past 3 to 4 feet apart. Cultivate frequently as long as the vines will permit, the last few 
workings should be shallow. Tomatoes do best in rich well manured soil. Trained to stakes the 
fruits are of better quality and appearance and ripen earlier and more uniformly.
