Tomatoes 
CULTURE—Tomatoes do best on warm, light, moderately rich soil, and success de¬ 
pends to a great extent on securing rapid and unchecked growth in the early part of the 
season. For early crop, sow seed in hot-bed in January, transplanting to cold frame 
when plants have at least four leaves, in order to strengthen the body of the plant, and 
transplanting later to open ground, after all danger of frost is over, in rows, three to four 
feet apart, and three feet apart in the rows. For late crop sow seed any time up to the 
middle of June. Spray regularly, to prevent blight. For the private garden, trellising the 
vines will prevent rotting, due to the fruit lying on the ground.
