TOMATO 
Culture Start your early tomato plants in¬ 
doors, 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, trans¬ 
plant 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 pro¬ 
duce about 3000 plants, enough for half an acre.
