TOMATO 
Sow the seed in February or March in a hotbed, greenhouse or in shallow boxes in the 
house. When plants are about 2 inches high, transplant to 4 inches apart. Transplant in 
the open ground after all danger of frost is past, 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Cultivate fre- 
quently. When plant has reached a height of 5 feet, cut off the top. When three or four 
clusters of fruit have formed and some of the fruit is as large as a silver dollar, prune the 
leaves at the base one-half. This hastens ripening. Once a month apply sheep manure 
around each plant. One ounce will produce 2,000 to 3,000 plants, 2 to 3 ounces for an acre;
