26 PERFEGRO BRAND -:- HIGH QUALITY SEEDS 
Tomatoes 
(Pomo d’ore, Tomate, Liebesapfel, Tomate) 
CULTURE—Days indicated represents the time required from the setting of plants to produce marketable fruits. One 
ounce of seed should produce 2,000 plants. Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over-rich soil. Success depends in a large 
measure upon securing a rapid, vigorous, unchecked growth during the early part of the season. For first early tomatoes 
select varieties of the earliest types, and start the plants under glass in hot beds or greenhouses during February and 
March. When the plants are about 2 inches high they should be transplanted to flats, pots or plant boxes. Never crowd the 
plants, but keep them short and stocky. Plants already in bloom, if in pots or boxes, may be transplanted to the open 
ground without disturbing their roots, and will continue to bloom and fruit without check.. When danger from frost has 
passed, set the plants in the field in rows about 4 feet apart each way, in warm, mellow soil of fair fertility. For main 
crop the plants can be started somewhat later in hot beds or cold frames and then set in the open ground the same as the 
early varieties. Tomatoes require very little water, just enough to keep them in good growing condition; too much water 
will cause them to blight. Cultivate often and thoroughly as long as the vines will permit. The last two or three workings 
of the soil should be shallow or the crop may be badly injured. :
