_ Time to Sow—It is best to sow indoors in flats, or 
in coldframes, during April, but seed sown outdoors 
in early May will produce fruit in September. 
Planting—When sowing use a good light sifted 
loam and broadcast the seed thinly over the surface, 
cover with not more than \% inch of soil. When the 
seedlings are from 2 to 3 inches high they should be 
given ample space for proper growth. Either trans- 
plant or thin out so that they will be about 3 inches 
apart. Aiter all danger of frost is past these plants 
should be hardened off, by gradual exposure to the 
out-of-doo: s, during favorable weather; transplanting 
them to th garden about May 20. Space the plants 
about 3 feet apart in the rows allowing 4 feet between 
vows. Closer planting is possible if the plants are 
to be staked.

Cullure Pays 
A wise grower will provide support for his Tomato 
plants. Unsupported plants sprawl over the ground, 
taking up valuable garden space; also the fruit on such 
plants will often spoil from contact with the soil, par- 
ticularly during rainy weather. 
The method most economical of garden space is the 
training of individual plants on single stakes. A good 
tugged stake should be driven into the ground 3 or 4 
inches from each plant. The stake should be long 
enough so that it stands 5 feet above the ground after 
being firmly planted. We recommend our Jumbo 
Tomato Supports (See our list of Garden Tools and 
Requisites starting on page 65.) As soon as the plants 
begin to branch, snip off all side shoots and tie up 
the main stem to the stake. Use soft jute twine 
or strips of strong cloth and tie loosely so that the 
plant will not be injured. As the plants grow continue 
to tie up the main stem and to remove all side branches 
until they reach the tops of the stakes. Tomatoes so 
grown will produce earlier, cleaner and more perfect 
fruit because of their exposure to sunlight and air. 
Another and more popular way of handling Toma- 
toes is to set a specially designed Tomato Support 
over each plant. These supports are catalogued and 
illustrated in our list of Garden Tools and Requisites 
which starts on page 65. The only training necessary 
is to keep the plants from growing under or between 
hoops until they are tall enough to hang over the top. 
From then on they will be supported perfectly and 
the fruit will be held well above the ground. 

Brecka BELMONT 
7080 (75 days)—Medium to small fruits of brilliant 
crimson color with no acidity, no core, and but few seeds. 
Belmont has a quality, 
a flavor and an appear- 
ance all its own, and it 
is often taken for hot- 
house grown fruit when 
offered for sale. It is 
best grown as a ,trellis 
variety or on poles, but 
when field-grown without 
support, it produces 
abundantly. We con- 
sider this a superlative 
variety, perhaps a little 
too small for economi- 
cal home canning, but 
ideal in every way for 

table use. Grow Bel- 
mont. You will like it 
very much.
