Tomatoes succeed best in well manured, 
light sandy soil. For early plants sow seed 
in boxes or hotbeds in January. When the 
plants are about 2 inches high trans¬ 
plant to 4 inches apart each way. Set out 
of doors as soon as danger of frost is over. 
Transplant carefully, 6 feet apart each 
way, and cultivate well as long as vines 
will permit. To obtain early fruit pinch off 
the ends of the branches when the first 
fruit is set. Our seed stock is of the very 
best selection. One ounce of seed for 2,000
