Good Garden TOMATOES 
‘Tomatoes thrive best on a light, warm, not over-rich soil. 
For early plants sow in the hotbed in drills 3 inches apart, 
four or five seeds to the inch, and cover lightly; or they may 
be started in the sunny window of a warm room. ‘Trans- 
plant when 2 inches high into other hotbeds, or into boxes 
or single pots, and place in the frames; if potted, it is well 
to plunge the pots into the earth level with their tops. 
Avoid crowding the plants; 4 inches is as near as they should 
stand in the frames. Lift the sash on warm, sunny days, 
and two or three weeks before setting outside gradually 
harden by exposure to the night air. Set 3 feet apart each 
way in the open ground in June, as soon as danger from frost 
is past. For later use sow in the open ground in June, and 
transplant when large enough to handle. By training the 
vines on trellises or tying up to a stake the fruit will ripen 
better, be of better quality and of increased productiveness. 
One ounce will produce about 1200 plants

dry,” still holds good for the main crop, but excellent re- 
sults are often obtained from seed planted early in August.

oughly and dress liberably with first-class commercial 
fertilizer. Sow broadcast and rake it in. For summer use,

spring, tn drills 15 inches apart; cover lightly and thin to
