TOMATOES 
CULTURE — Tomatoes do best in 
light, warm, rich soil. Sow in hot 
beds about eight weeks before they 
are to be set in the field. The time 
of planting depends on the soil and 
climatic conditions. If you want 
early market tomatoes, we advise 
covering with Hotkap Plant Prot- 
tectors for frost protection, Trans- 
plant 3 to 6 feet apart in rows 4 to 
6 feet apart, the distance apart to 
be governed by the nature of the 
plants, whether compact, upright 
growth or of vining habit. Plow and 
pulverize the soil to a good depth so that the 
roots may penetrate deeply and avoid the hot 
surface soil. Use about ¥4 pound of seed for 
field planting or 1 ounce of seed for every 
2,000 plants in the hot bed.
