Brecks Vegetable Seeds 
TOMATO 
Italian—Pomo d’oro 
Sow the seeds in a greenhouse, hot bed, or warm window about the middle of March. 
Prick off the seedlings into flats of rich soil allowing about 3 inches between plants. 
Gradually harden off and transfer the plants to the open garden in May. Allow about 
4 feet each way if the plants are to be permitted to ramble over the ground or use 
tomato supports. One ounce will produce about 2000 plants; 3 ounces to the acre.
