Tomatoes 
A packet of seed produces about 150 plants; 1 ounce about 2000 plants. 
Tomatoes contain lots of nitrogen; go easy with fertilizer on the plant bed. 
Sow inside about February 15th (7 to 9 weeks) before field planting 
transplant once or twice to avoid crowding; harden off and transplant to 
field after danger of frost, about May 15th or earlier if protected. Set 2 
to 6 feet apart in the row and 3 to 6 feet between the rows. Soil should 
be well fertilized, 1 pound to 50 square feet.

likely to be your most profitable Tomato. Stokesdale is one week earlier 
than Marglobe, ten days earlier than Rutgers. The most surprising thing

Leaves light green and finely cut. Fruit averages 7 ounces, smooth, deep 
globe in shape, very solid and brilliant red color. Because of its fine 
quality and heavy yield we believe it will have a place in the home gar- 
den as well as market, shipping and canning.
