Be sure to have a good supply of tomatoes for sum¬ 
mer use and also for canning. No other vegetable can 
be used in so many ways. They are excellent for sal¬ 
ad, or sliced; also make the best of preserves, either 
green or ripe. Stewed tomatoes are relished by every¬ 
one. 
Tomatoes taken fresh from the garden to the table 
have a value that can hardly bt* estimated. What 
could be more desired than a delicious, red, juicy to¬ 
mato, completely ripened on the vine? 
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A, B, and C; they 
make a valued addition to the diet of growing chil¬ 
dren. 
Culture: One ounce of seed should produce 2000 
plants: an acre requires 3000 to 4000 plants. If plant¬ 
ing in the open field, use about 8 ounces of seed per 
acre. Sow in hills about 30 inches each way, % inch 
deep. When plants are well established, thin to one 
plant in each hill. 
For early crop or in short-season sections, plant in 
houseboxes or hotbeds about March first. Plants 
should be transplanted once, setting them about 1 % 
inches apart each way in coldframe, before setting in 
open ground. Be sure frost danger has passed before 
setting in the open ground, or protect with Hotkaps 
or Hotents. 
It is very important to have plenty of moisture 
after transxtlanting. 
If you have only a -small space for tomatoes, use 
stakes or trellises. 
Mr. Market Gardener or Truck Grower: Tomatoes 
are a money-making crop for you. Start with Mile 
High seed. We use great care in selecting our stock

ity and flavor.
