CULTURE—Sow seed in hotbed in 
March or April, in rows 3 inches 
apart, covering the seed %-inch 
deep. Water with quite warm water. 
When the plants are 2 inches high, 
transplant into flats 2 to 4 inches 
apart, or into 3 or 4 in. pots. Set 
in open ground when all danger of 
frost is over, in rows 4 to 5 feet 
apart and 3 feet apart in the row. 
Sprinkle a handful of ground bone 
in each hole before setting the plant. 
Tomatoes may be tied up to stakes 
with soft twine, and for the home- 
garden it is a good plan as the 
plants may be set closer together 
than if allowed to run at random.
