Hart & Vicki TOMATOES 
The number of days to maturity we give are days from setting of the plants. 
Sow seed in hotbeds or in boxes in a warm room; transplant when about 2 inches 
high into flats or single pots and place in cold frames. Transplant to the open 
ground about the middle of May to June 15th, setting the plants about 4 feet apart 
each way. Where the summers are fairly long, seed may be sown outdoors when 
weother gets warm. Many gardeners say they obtain better resuits this way. Hotkaps 
set over the seed and young plants makes them bear earlier and better fruit. To 
secure best results in earliness, amount, and perfection, train and tie two or three 
of the strongest branches to long stakes; pinch off weaker ones. 
seed will produce 200 plants; 1 ounce about 2000 plents.
