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 te 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 #f 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, 
Maturity dates given are from the setting of plants to. marketable fruits.
