VEGETABLE SEEDS 
TOMATO 
% oz. to 100 ft., 2 oz. per acre. 
In February or March sow seeds lightly in rows in green¬ 
house, hotbed, or window box, and when plants have reached 
a height of 3 inches, transplant in hotbeds. About June 1, set 
out in open ground, 4 feet apart, giving plenty of well rotted 
manure to each plant. Water freely during hot weather. To 
obtain the best results, trellises or stakes should be used.
