Painesville, Ohio 
TOMATOES 
CULTURE. Sow in hotbeds during March. When the plants 
have 4 leaves, transplant 4 to 5 inches apart, in shallow boxes, 
and give plenty of air. Set out-of-doors as soon as danger 
from severe frosts is over. Seed may be sown in the open 
ground also at this time. Many planters prefer training the 
plants to stakes and keeping them pruned. Use stakes 2 inches 
squcre, 5 or 6 feet long. The main stem and two branches 
should be saved, cutting the others off just beyond the first 
cluster of blossoms. This treatment allows all the fruits to 
develop to perfection and none are lost from rotting on the 
ground. One ounce should produce 3000 plants.
