Tomatoes 
German—Liebesapfel. Spanish—Tomates. 
Italian—Porno d’Oro 
Two ounces seed per acre is suggested. 
Culture: The best crops are grown on light soil. For 
early fruit in most states the seed should be sown in hot¬ 
beds early in March or about 6 weeks before transplanting 
to the field. Sow seed in rows 4 inches apart and not 
over one-half inch deep. Enough plants for a small garden 
may be ^own in shallow boxes or flower pots in a sunny 
window in the house. When the weather becomes warm 
out-of-doors, gradually harden them by exposing them to 
the air. When all danger of frost is past, set out in the 
open 3 to 4 feet apart each way. During the growing 
season do not allow the ground to cake or harden. Give 
plenty of cultivation.
