PLANT-TWISTS, 
TOMATOES 
One ounce will produce about 1000 plants. Yield 
begins 9 to 13 weeks after setting out. 
Abundant source of vitamin C, 
Although the purchase 
of plants is established 
practice with most home 
gardeners, growing To- 
matoes from seed is eco- 
nomical and entirely prac- 
tical. It should be sown 
sparingly in a_ hotbed, 
greenhouse, or in the 
home from the second 
week in February to the 
end of April. When the 
lants are about 2 inches 
igh they should be trans- 
planted about 4 inches 
apart, or thinned so that 
they do not overcrowd. 
Around May 15 the plants 
may be set out in the open 
ground, 3 feet each way. 
Protect each plant with a 
Treated Paper Collar; 
otherwise cutworms may 
destroy it. For an au- 
tumn crop, sow seed in 
May in the open.

free Tomatoes provide
