No garden should be without its 
quota of Tomatoes. They require lit¬ 
tle care and yield heavily in a small 
space. No vegetable can be put to 
more uses, cooked or in salads, than 
Tomatoes. They are rich in vitamins, 
and valuable as an appetizing dish in 
many ways. Our Tomato seed is pro¬ 
duced under the supervision of ex¬ 
perienced, and qualified seed-breeders; 
each individual type is rigidly selected 
and bred for earliness, productivity, 
and uniformity in size, shape, and 
color. 
Maturity dates given are from the set~ 
ting of plants to marketable fruits.

Culture. For early fruit, sow thinly 
in a hotbed or indoors in shallow 
boxes. Harden plants by exposing to 
the air occasionally. In about 6 weeks 
the plants will be ready to set out, 
provided danger of frost is over. The 
rows should be 4 to 5 feet apart and 
the plants about 3 feet apart in the 
row, or 2 feet in row if staked. Cul¬ 
tivate as long as the vines will per¬ 
mit. JToipatoes are much improved in 
appearance and quality, when trained 
to stakes. The usual method is to set 
one strong plant to a 5- or 6-foot 
stake, tying the plant ‘up and pruning 
it quite freely as the vine advances 
in growth. One ounce will produce 
1500 plants; 4 to 6 ounces will fur¬ 
nish sufficient plants for an acre.
