TOMATOES Delicious 
One ounce will produce 1,500 plants; 44 pound to transplant for one acre. 
Tomatoes are planted indoors in a window garden about the first of March. When the third leaf of a plant has formed, put the plant 
into a 3-inch pot or box. After all danger of frost is over the plants may be set in the ground. Do not plant Tomatoes within 3 feet of 
any other crop. Dig holes 3 feet apart and deep enough to allow placing the plant an inch or two deeper than it was in the pot. Cover 
the top of the pot with your fingers, holding the plant between them; then turn the pot upside down, tapping it with a trowel or other 
tool, when the plant will easily come out. Place it in the ground, pressing the earth around it; if the earth is dry, water it as soon as the 
plants are set. Some people put a ring of heavy paper around the plant, at the top of the soil, to keep off cutworms. June 1st is the usual 
time for peo lenring in northern latitudes. Tie the growing plants to stakes. We will have plants ready in May and June. 
Tomato Seed should be carefully treated with SEMESAN POWDER to prevent disease.
