Good Garden Tomatoes 
One ounce will produce about 2000 plants. 
This vegetable is one of the most important of all 
garden products. They thrive best in a warm, light, rich 
soil. For early plants, sow about the first week in March 
in a hotbed, or in boxes or pots in a warm window. 
When the plants are about two inches high, set four 
inches apart in boxes three inches deep, or pot singly. 
If again transplanted before setting out, the plants will 
be still more stocky. Set out in the open ground about 
the first of June, four feet apart each way, using a 
shovelful of rotted manure in each hill.
