BURPEE’S TOMATOES 
Tomatoes should be in every garden. It is quite simple to 
grow your own plants. Sow the seed in a hotbed, or in a 
shallow box in the house, allowing 5 to 6 weeks to produce 
plants large enough for setting outdoors when weather be¬ 
comes warm. Sow in rows 3 in. apart and cover with l4 in. 
of soil. When plants are about 2 in. tall, transplant to stand 
4 in. apart in the row or pot singly in 3 in. i>ots. Plant 
outdoors when all danger of frost is past, in rows 4 ft. apart 
and 3 or 4 ft. apart in the row. One pkt. will produce about 
300 plants; 1 oz. 2000 plants; 2 ozs. will produce enough 
plants for one acre. Days to maturity are from field setting 
of the plants. Treat seed with Semesan or Cuprocide.
