Culture Start your early tomato plants 
indoors, allowing 4 to 6 weeks to produce 
plants for setting out. Sow the seed in 
February or March in hot beds or in shallow 
boxes in the house, in rows 4 to 6 inches 
apart and half an inch deep. When the 
plants are about 2 inches high, transplant 
into 3 inch pots or shallow boxes 4 in. apart 
each way. Transplant in the open ground 
when all danger of frost is past, 3 to 4 feet 
apart each way. Cultivate frequently. An 
ounce will produce about 3000 plants, enough 
for half an acre,
