Tomato 
One ounce will produce 1,500 plants. This vegetable is one of the most important of 
all garden products. They thrive best in a warm, light, rich soil. For early plants, sow 
about the first week in March in 
a hotbed, or in boxes or pots 
in a warm window. When the 
plants are about two inches high, 
set out in boxes, three inches 
deep, four inches apart, in the 
same temperature, or pot singly. 
If again transplanted before 
setting out, the plants will be 
still more stocky. Set out in the 
open ground about the first of 
June, four feet apart, each way, 
using a shovelful of rotted 
manure in each hill. Keep well 
sheltered and watered until they 
are established, after which let 
the fruit have plenty of sun.
