TOMATO 
Culture. For earliest crop, sow in a hotbed or shallow boxes in February or March, 
transplanting when 2 or 8 inches high to small pots, trays or cold frames. When 
danger of frost is past (usually in this climate the Ist to 10th of May), set in open 
ground 3x4 feet apart. Tomatoes should be staked to keep the fruit from the ground 
and it will also help to prevent blight, mildew, and make them more prolific. 
One ounce produces about 2,000 plants; 2 ounces produce enough plants to set one 
acre. For early crops sow in February; for late crops sow in open bed in April or May.
