Tomatoes 
One ounce of seed will produce from 3,000 to 
4,000 plants. 
CULTURE. Sow seed in a box or hotbed early 
and transplant at least once to get a strong 
root growth. When danger of frost is over set 
in open ground 3 to 5 feet apart each way and

days earlier by transplanting into small pots
