San Franciseo 
TOMATO 
For early plants sow in hotbeds early in March or 
April, in drills 5 inches apart and 14 inch deep; when the 
plants are about 2 inches high transplant into another 
hotbed 4 inches apart each way; plant out in the open 
ground early in May, or as soon as danger from frost is 
over, 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a 
shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil. 
Water freely at time of transplanting, but after the 
plants are well established water sparingly and at the 
roots only, as spraying the vines and overwatering causes 
the blossoms to drop off; when the first fruit is set, 
pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. 
Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in a 
shallow box by placing it in a sunny window in a warm 
room. For late use sow in a sheltered border in May, and 
set out the plants in July; the green fruit may be picked 
off before frost and ripened under glass. By training the 
vines on trellises or tying to stakes, the fruit will ripen 
better and be of finer quality. The fruit matures in 150 
days.
