Plenty of Luscious Tomatoes 
MAY BE GROWN ON A SMALL GARDEN PLOT 
Tomatoes are ideal for a home garden crop, and yield 
heavily in small spaces. 
An ounce will produce about 2,000 plants. 
Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over-rich soil. 
Sow in hotbed or window-box (where 60 degrees Fahr. 
is the minimum night temperature) in March, in rows 
3 inches apart and Vz inch deep. Cover firmly. Later 
sowings may be made to the end of April. When seed¬ 
lings are 3 inches high, transplant 4 inches apart each 
way in hotbeds, cold frames, or singly in 3-inch pots. 
Harden plants by exposing to the air occasionally. After 
warm weather is settled, set out plants 3 to 4 feet apart 
each way in hills, into each of which fertilizer has been 
previously mixed. Water freely at time of transplanting 
and shelter from sun until plants are well established.
