Tomatoes Are Wholesome Whether Raw, Cooked or Canned 
Tomatoes 
Tomatoes thrive best on a light, warm, not over-rich soil. For early plants sow in the hotbed in drills 3 inches 
apart, four or five seeds to the inch, cover lightly, or they may be started in the sunny window of a warm room. 
Transplant when 2 inches high into other hotbeds, or into boxes or single pots, and place in the frames; if potted,, 
it is well to plunge the pots into the earth level with their tops. Avoid crowding the plants; 4 inches is as near 
as they should stand in the frames. Lift the sash on warm, sunny days, and two or three weeks before setting 
outside gradually harden by exposure to the night air. Set 4 feet apart each way in the open ground in May, as 
soon as danger from frost is past. For later use sow in the open ground in May, transplant when large enough 
to handle. By training the vines on trellises or tying up to a stake the fruit will ripen better, be of better quality 
and of increased productiveness. 
One ounce will produce about 1,200 plants.
