Tomatoes : 
Within the lifetime of people still living, Tomatoes have climbed from food of ques- 
tionable value to a most important item of daily diet. People just learned to like them 
without help of what we know as advertising. 
Victory Gardeners gaye Tomatoes a preferred space in their gardens, for with but 
half a chance, even a few plants will produce large quantities of a fruit that is health- 
ful and palatable whether eaten raw, cooked, solid or as juice, cold or hot. 
Experts claim that Tomatoes are a good source of Vitamins A, B1 and C. 
Your purchase of an automobile, refrigerator, washing machine gets you set for 
maintenance and repair expense. Your purchase of a packet of Tomato seed brings 
you a big dividend in a few short months. Don’t stop buying the former, but by all 
means, plant Tomatoes for a good investment. 
CULTURE. Tomato seed should be started early, by March or early 
April in hot beds or in boxes or pots in the house. An extra transplant- 
ing into other pots or cold frames is beneficial for root development 
before finally setting outdoors, when it is warm. Do not crowd Tomato 
plants. You want short stocky plants rather than tall spindly ones. 
One ounce should produce 2500 to 3000 plants. If set 36 x 24 inches apart 
you will need about 7200 per acre.
