QUALITY TOMATOES 
One ounce will produce about 2000 plants 
Culture— Start seeds indoors to secure the earliest fruits. 
Plant outside after danger from frost is over, unless you 
use Hotkaps. Set about 4 feet apart each way in full sun 
and rich soil. Best commercial growers trellis their plants 
to hasten maturity, improve quality and reduce disease loss.
