F. H. WOODRUFF & SONS' 
TOMATO 
Marglobe 
Culture —Start your early tomato plants indoors, 
allowing 4 to 6 weeks to produce plants for 
setting out. Sow the seed in February or 
March in hot beds or in shallow boxes in the 
house, in rows 4 to 6 inches apart and half an 
inch deep. When the plants are about 2 inches 
high, transplant into 3 inch pots or shallow boxes 
4 in. apart each way. Transplant in the open 
ground when all danger of frost is past, 3 to 4 
feet apart each way. Cultivate frequently. An 
ounce will produce about 2500 plants, enough for 
half an acre.
