Master Marglobe Tomato 
Tomato 
One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants. 
Culture; The tomato flourishes best in warm, 
light soil, moderately rich. For early use sow 
Vs of an inch deep in January or February in a 
hotbed, or if only a few plants are wanted, they 
may be sown in a window box. In order to get 
the plants strong and stocky, they should be trans¬ 
planted when 2 to 3 inches high, and a second

stockiness. When all danger of frost has passed, 
set out in the open ground in rows 3 feet apart 
and 2 feet between the plants.
