(For Tomato Plants, see Vegetable Plants.) 
The seeds should be sown in a hot-bed about the first week in March, 
in drills five inches apart and half an inch deep. When the plants are 
about two inches high, they should be set out about four or five inches 
apart in another hot-bed. About the middle of May the plants may be 
set in the open ground; they are planted for early crops on light, sandy 
soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good shoveful 
of rotten manure has been mixed. On heavy soils, which are not suited 
for an early crop, they should be planted four feet apart. Water freely 
at the time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun for a few days until 
the plants are established. One ounce will produce about 2000 plants.
