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 
cultivate thoroughly. Fruit may be had several 
days earlier by transplanting into small pots 
and then setting out the entire contents as 
soon as ground is warm. The varieties of
