Sow seed inside about March 15th. Transplant once and set as soon as danger of frost is past. “Tomatoes 
that are to be staked may be set as close as 2 ft. apart. If they are not to be staked, set plants 4 ft. each way. 
We consider Valiant the best tomato for the home garden. Valiant is an early, smooth, well colored variety 
that bears over a long period of time. Victor is a fine early variety if it does well under your conditions. John 
Baer and Stokesdale are the two most popular canning varieties for New York State while Marglobe and Rutgers 
are used in the States farther South. 
Late potato blight caused a great deal of damage on tomatoes in 1946 all the way from Florida to Maine. 
Partial control can be had by spraying or dusting with Bordeaux mixture but the scientists agree that very prob- 
ably blight will not be serious next year. Apparently conditions have to be just right for blight to develop on 
tomatoes. 
Dust tomato plants with Rotenone as soon as they are set to protect them from flea beetles.
