This Little Catalog Won’t Make a Big Pint Impression, 
But the More You Read It the Better You Will Like It 
TOMATOES 
Tomatoes are one of the most im¬ 
portant foods today, and they’re twice 
as good fresh from your own vines. 
They’re not hard to grow, either; use 
stakes or trellises for them if you are 
limited for space. 
Start in houseboxes or hotbeds 
about March first; or plant in the 
open ground as soon as frost danger 
is past and you’ll be surprised how 
fast they will come on. 
Ounce should produce 1,500-2,000 
plants.
