TOMATOES 
Tomatoes succeed best in well manured, light sandy soil. 
For early plants sow seed in boxes or hotbeds in January. 
When the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant to 4 
inches apart each way. Set out of doors as soon as danger of 
frost is over. Transplant carefully, 6 feet apart each way, and 
cultivate well as long as vines will permit. To obtain early 
fruit pinch off the ends of the branches when the first fruit is 
set. Our seed stock is of the very best selection. One ounce of 
seed for 2000 plants. 
According to our standard of description, those varieties 
which are described as producing fruits of medium size yield 
fruits that average 4.5 ounces to 5.4 ounces, according to the 
variety; those which are said to produce fruits of medium large 
size, yield fruits which average 5.5 to 6 ounces; and those 
varieties described as large fruited, yield fruits that average 
6.1 to 7.2 ounces, according to the variety. Ponderosa and Ox 
Heart, with extremely large fruits, are in a class by them¬ 
selves, and the Cherry, Pear, Plum and Husk tomatoes bear 
comparatively extremely small fruits.
