The newest types of hardy, 
prolific tomatoes are better 
adapted to the cool coast climate 
than the older sorts; and splen¬ 
did crops are now being grown 
where heretofore it was thought 
tomatoes would not thrive. A 
good plan is to try several vari¬ 
eties and find which is best suit¬ 
ed to your special conditions. 
CULTURE—Sow early in hot¬ 
beds, and as soon as they have 
four leaves transplant them into 
shallow boxes. Harden off, and 
set out as soon as danger of 
frost is past. An ounce of seed 
will produce 3,000 to 4,000 
plants. 
If blight appears use “Bor- 
deau,” but it is better to use a 
preventive before blight strikes 
the plant, and as a control meas¬ 
ure for flea beetles spray under 
side of foliage.
