T O obtain fruit very early, sow in the hotbed in March. In about five weeks plants should be transplanted to another hotbed, 
setting them about four or five inches apart. Here they should remain, having all the air possible, until after the middle of 
May, when they may be put out in the ground, four feet apart each way. If not too early or too cold, a cold frame will answer for 
the first transplanting. Very good plants can be grown in boxes in the house. The soil for early Tomatoes should not be too 
rich, and a warm, sheltered location selected, if possible. Pinching off the ends of the branches when the first fruit is set, will hasten 
the ripening very much. One ounce will produce 2000 plants; one-quarter pound (to transplant ) for an acre.
