Toynatoes mature from 90 to 115 days

One ounce zvill produce 1000 plants. 
Sow in a hotbed about the first week in 
March, in drills 5 inches apart, and Y inch deep. 
Transplant to the open ground when all dan¬

garden may be started by sowing a few seeds 
in a shallow box or flower pot, and placing it in 
a sunny window of the room or kitchen. By 
training the vines on trellises or tying to stakes 
the fruit will ripen better.
