RELIABLE SEEDS 
One ounce will produce 
3,000 plants 
For early Tomatoes start plants in hotbeds during March, sowing the seed inch deep in 
drills 6 inches apart. They should be replanted at least once in the frames before the final 
planting outdoors in May, after all danger of frost is past. It is unwise to set plants closer than 
3 to 4 feet apart each way, as the vines grow vigorously and soon cover the entire space. In 
gardens where space is limited and only a few plants grown, we recommend the use of Tomato 
supports. :
