SELECT TOMATO SEED 
CULTURE—For early plants sow during February or March in shallow boxes of light, rich soil, placed 
in a sunny window, and when 2 inches high transplant to other boxes. Or sow in hot beds in drills 5 in¬ 
ches apart and half-inch deep and transplant when 2 inches high into hot beds setting them 4 inches apart. 
Do not plant outside until all danger from frost is over. Then set in hills 4 feet apart each way. The best 
soil for tomatoes is very rich, sandy loam, but they will do well on any well-drained, well-manured land and 
even in poor soil will produce better than most crops. If stems of plants when planted are very long they 
should be partly buried under ground. Water freely at time of transplanting and give constant and thorough 
cultivation. For late use, sow seed in open ground during May and early June, and transplant to permanent 
location as soon as large enough. These plants will provide fruit during fall months when earlier settings 
have become exhausted by continuous bearing during hot, dry weather. 
1 ounce for 2,000 plants, 3 ounces sufficient for an acre. fos Tbic
