No garden should be 
without its quota of 
Tomatoes. They re- 
quire little care and 
yield heavily in a small 
space. No vegetable 
can be put to more 
uses, cooked or in sal- 
ads, than Tomatoes. 
They are rich in vita- 
mins, and valuable as 
an appetizing dish in 
many ways. 

Six to eight ounces to an acre; one ounce to 1,500 plants.

How, When and Where to Plant Mafehi eer sufficient plants for femily 
use can be grown in pots or boxes indoors with very little trouble. Be particular to give plants 
the benefit of fresh air and sun whenever judicious, for the purpose of hardening them, and 
cover with mats when necessary to prevent them from frosting. The two extremes of heat and 
cold are equally injurious. It is customary with the best gardeners to remove the plants from 
hotbeds to the cold frames, allowing a distance of several inches between the plants. In April 
select and prepare the soil and set the plants 3 feet each way. Hoe and draw earth to the 
stems. For general crop sow from the middle of April or during May. The number of days 
on varieties shown means the time from setting of plants. To prevent blossom end rot and 
blight, spray plants when young with Pyrox.
