TOMATO 
One method to grow early Tomatoes is to plant strong, healthy 
plants of a good early variety, about 7^2 apart, in rows 
about 3 feet apart, then, at the same time set along side each 
plant a fairly heavy stake. A Tonkin cane, 5 ft. long and 
Yz to inch thick is good. As the plant grows, the main or 
center stem should be tied loosely with Raffia to the stake and all 
side-shoots or suckers trimmed off. PFhen 5 or 6 flower clusters 
are set, the top of the plant should also be taken off, but one 
leaf must be left over the top flower. That way there ‘zvill 
not be so many Tomatoes on the plants, as when letting it grow 
its own way, but the tomatoes will mature much earlier and 
the fruit will be perfect. If more than 5 or b clusters are 
wanted from a plant, the two bottom side branches can be left 
growing and tied on the stake, and stopped when 3 clusters 
are set. Varieties are listed as to their earliness, the earliest first.
