TOMATOES 
One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants. 
Culture: The tomato flourishes best in warm, light soil, 
moderately rich. For early use sow % of an inch deep in 
February or March in a hotbed, or if only a few plants are 
wanted, they may be sown in a window box. In order to get 
the plants strong and stocky, they should be transplanted 
when 2 or 3 inches high, and a second transplanting later

of frost has passed, set out in the open ground in rows 3 
feet apart and 2 feet between the plants.
