How to Grow TOMATOES 
Sow seed in a hotbed, or in a shallow box in the house, 
allowing 6 to 8 weeks to produce plants large enough for 
setting outdoors when weather becomes warm. When 
plants are about 2 in. tall, transplant to stand 4 in. apart 
each way, or pot singly in 3 in. pots. Plant outdoors when 
all danger of frost is past. Where summers are long, seed 

may be sown directly outdoors when soil and weather get 
warm. When plants are large enough to transplant, set 
them where they are to remain; such plants will come into 
bearing later than those started earlier indoors or in a hot- 
bed. A pkt. will produce about 200 plants; 1 oz. 2000, Days 
to maturity are from field setting of the plants until first 
usable fruits are ready.
