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 becomes warm. Sow in rows 
3 in. apart and cover with 1% in. of soil. When plants are about 
2 in. tall, transplant to stand 4 in. apart each way, or pot singly
