Tomatoes 
CULTURE —Tomato seed should be started early, by March or at 
least early April in hot beds or in boxes or pots in the house. An extra 
transplanting into other pots or cold frames is beneficial for root de¬ 
velopment before finally setting outdoors, when it is warm. Do not 
crowd tomato plants. You want short stocky plants rather than tall 
spindly ones. 
QUANTITY OF SEED. One ounce should produce 2500 to 3000 
plants. If set 36x24 inches apart you will need about 7200 per acre.
