22 VEGETABLE SEEDS 
The L W, Scott Company, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Break O’Day Tomato 
TOMATOES 
The seed should be sown indoors in late February or March, 
in shallow boxes or pots placed in a warm, sunny window. As 
soon as the little plants are strong enough, thin or transplant 
them to stand 3 to 4 inches apart; then when they are about 3 
inches high transfer them to small paper pots or dirt-bands. To 
secure extra-strong, stocky plants, transfer them again, when 
6 to 8 inches tall, to larger pots. When all danger from frost is 
past, set them out in the garden, spacing them about 4 feet 
apart each way. To guard against blight, spray the plants with 
Bordeaux Mixture or Sulfocide two or three times during the 
season; arsenate of lead will kill the Tomato worms. 
An ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants; 
4 ounces should give sufficient plants for an acre
