Culture. For early fruit, sow thin- 
ly in a hotbed or indoors in shallow 
boxes. Harden plants by exposing to 
the air occasionally. In about 6 weeks 
the plants will be ready. to set out, 
provided danger: of frost is over; ‘The 
rows should be 4 to 5 feet’ apart and 
the plants about 3 feet apart. in the 
row, or 2 feet in row if staked. Cul- 
tivate as long as the vines will permit. 
Tomatoes. are much improved in ap- 
pearance and quality when trained to 
stakes. The usual method is to set 
one strong plant to a 5- or 6-foot 
stake, tying the plant up and pruning 
it quite freely as the vine advances 
in growth, One ounce will produce 
1500 plants; 4 to.6 ounces will fur- 
nish sufficient plants for an acre.
