TOMATO 
Culture .—To furnish desirable plants for setting out as soon as the weather becomes sufficiently warm,, 
the seed should be sown in February or March in a hotbed, coldframe or a box kept in a sunny window. 
When the plants are about 2 inches high thin or transplant to stand 4 inches apart each way, or prick out 
in pots or flats; this is necessary to secure compact, stocky plants. About the 10th of May, or as soon after 
as all indications of frost have vanished, the plants may be transferred to the open ground, setting 3 to 4 feet 
each way. They should be frequently cultivated. The Tomatoes ripen earlier and are improved in quality 
when the vines are pruned to one or two stems 
and trained to stakes or trellises. Plants for 
late Summer or Fall crops can be obtained by 
sowing seed in a small bed in May or the 
first week in June. To avoid weak, spindly 
growth, thin out to about 5 inches apart. 
One ounce of seed will produce about 1,500 
plants.
