Tomato 
An ounce will produce 2000 plants, enough 
for 3 acre. Early tomato plants should be 
starled indoors, allowing 4-8 weeks to 
produce plants for setting out. Feb. or Mar. 
is the proper time to sow seed in hot beds or 
shallow boxes in the house; rows 4-6 inches 
apart and % inch deep. When plants are 
2 inches high transplant into 3-inch pots or 
shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. 
Transplant to open ground when all danger 
of frost is past, 3-4 ft. apart each way. 
Tomato plants should be hardened before 
setting in the field. This is best accom- 
plished by withholding water a few days 
previous to moving them to the field. An 
average production of fruits is 7 tons per 
acre, but it is not uncommon for tomato 
growers to produce 10 to 20 tons per acre

tified Tomato Seed. In purchasing
