Luscious Meaty Tomatoes 
Tomatoes are ideal for a home garden crop, and yield 
heavily in small spaces. 
An ounce will produce about 2,000 plants. 
Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over-rich soil. 
Sow in hotbed or window-box (where 60 degrees Fahr. 
is the minimum night temperature) in March, in rows 
3 inches apart and 1/2 inch deep. Cover firmly. Later 
sowings may be made to the end of April. When seed¬ 
lings are 3 inches high, transplant 4 inches apart 
each way in hotbeds, coldframes, or singly in 3-inch 
pots. Harden plants by exposing to the air occa¬ 
sionally. After warm weather is settled, set out plants 
3 to 4 feet apart each way in hills, into each of 
which fertilizer has been previously mixed. Water freely 
at time of transplanting and shelter from sun until 
plants are well established.
