CuLturr. The Tomato requires one hundred days or more to mature 
from seed. As Tomatoes are killed by other than light frost, early To- 
matoes should be started in hotbeds 2 months before they may be trans. 
planted out-of-doors. Three weeks later these plants may be potted or 
given a space of 4 by 4 inches in the hotbeds. Before setting in the field, 
the plants should be gradually exposed to the outside conditions and the 
quantity of water given them decreased. Transplant on a cloudy day if 
possible, and water freely. Nitrate of soda may be given each plant at 
this time with profit. A space of 4 by 4 feet should be given each plant 
in the field or more for robust varieties, except that where they are care- 
fully pruned and trained, which is unnecessary, they may be planted as 
close as 2 by 2 feet. One ounce of seed gives 2,000 plants, The number 
of days given is from setting plants to ripe fruit. 
BEAUTY 84 Days
