MARGLOBE 
TOMATO 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will produce from 
2,000 to 3,000 plants. Sow the seed in hot-beds during 
March. When the plants are 2 inches high transplant 
into cold frames, plant boxes, paper pots or earth 
bands. After all danger of frost is over, set these 
plants into the open ground. The soil should be 
warm, mellow and fertile. Set plants 4 feet apart 
each way. Cultivate often and as long as the plants 
permit. By training- the tomato vines on trellises or 
tying to stakes, the fruit will ripen better and be 
of finer flavor. A wire fence is a good support. When 
frost is feared in the fall, pull the laden vines and 
hang in a shed or cellar and many will continue to 
ripen. 
1 oz. to 2.000 plants. 
Set 3 feet apart takes 4,840 plants per acre. 
Set 4 feet apart takes 2,723 plants per acre.
