TOMATO 
To furnish desirable early plants the seed should be sown in February or March in a hotbed or box kept in a warm place. 
When the plants are about 2 inches high they should be thinned or transplanted to ensure stocky plants. As soon as 
danger from frost is past transplant to the open ground, setting about 3 feet apart each way. They should be 
frequently cultivated and well-fertilized. The fruit will ripen earlier and be improved in quality if the vines are 
pruned to two stems and trained to stakes or trellises. Plants for late summer crop may be started from seed in May.
