An ounce will produce 2000 plants, enough for % 
acre. Early tomato plants should be started in- 
doors, allowing 4-8 weeks to produce plants for 
setting out. Feb. or Mar. is the proper time to sow 
seed in hot beds or shallow boxes in the house; 
rows 4-6 inches apart and -%4 inch deep. When 
plants are 2 inches high transplant into 38-inch 
pots or shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. 
Transplant to open ground when all danger of 
frost is past, 3-4 ft. apart each way. 
- Tomato plants should be hardened before setting 
in the field. This is best accomplished by with-_ 
holding water a few days previous to moving 
them to the field. An average production of fruits 
is 7 tons per acre, but it is not uncommon for 
tomato growers to produce 10 to 20 tons per acre 
when they plant our Pennsylvania Certified To- 
mato Seed. In purchasing Landreth’s Pénnsyl- 
' vania Grown Tomato Seed, the buyer is certain of 
the absolute purity of what he buys. Every crop 
_ is produced from seed saved from hand-selected 
fruits of the preceding year, every one of the 
fruits being closely inspected and approved as to 
_ shape, color and internal structure. What is more 
important, the only fruits saved are from vines of 
‘approved type, vigor, yield qualities, and freedom 
from disease.
