CULTURE — For early fruit sow seed 
thinly in rows in hot bed or in flats covering 
seed about 144 inch. Harden plants by exposing 
to the outside air whenever the weather per- 
mits. In about six weeks should be ready to 
set out, provided danger of frost is over. If 
-ou decide to set them outdoors before danger 
or frost is over, suggest that you cover them 
with Hot Kaps. See page 24. Tomato plants 
should be set deeply so that they do not set 
above the soil spindly and leafless. Set the 
plants 2 to 3 feet apart in row with rows 
4 feet apart. As they grow they should be 
trained on bamboo stakes or on other good 
stakes that are about 5 to 6 feet tall. Set out 
your stakes when putting out plants, for put- 
ting in stakes after plants have attained quite 
a bit of height will disturb the root system. 
Staking tomatoes will prevent the fruit from 
soiling, also decaying when touching the soil. 
One ounce will produce 1500 plants. 4 to 6 
ounces required for an acre. 
TOMATOES — Many home gar- 
deners prune their vines by cutting 
out the shoots from the leaf axils, 
thinking this will give them better 
and more abundant fruit. It has, 
however, been repeatedly proven that 
such pruning is a waste of time, be- 
cause it doesn’t accomplish these 
aims.
