Culture: Tomato seed may be sown in 
hotbeds from about second week of Feb¬ 
ruary up to end of April. About May 
15th, plants may be set in open ground 
3 feet apart. Sufficient plants for a small 
garden may be started by sowing a few 
seeds in a shallow box or flower box in 
a sunny window. For final seeding it 
is not too late to sow during June, using 
earlv varieties and sowing in open 
ground. The auality of the fruit is im¬ 
proved if vines are tied to trellises or 
stakes.
