TOMATOES 
One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants. 
CULTURE: Everyone who plans a garden should reserve a part of it for tomatoes so that 
une family can have a fresh supply during a long season. No other cultivated plant bears so 
long and so productively, and no other fruit carries within it greater health bringing elements. 
The Tomato flourishes best in warm, light soil, moderately rich. For early use sow !/g inch 
deep in January or February in a hotbed, or if only a few plants are wanted, they may be sown 
in a window box. In order to get the plants strong and stocky, they should be transplanted 
when 2 to 3 inches high, and a second transplanting later on will add greatly to their stocki- 
ness. When all danger of frost has passed, set out in the open ground in rows 3 feet apart, 
leaving the same distance between the plants, and if convenient, furnish a support for the vine.
