TOMATOES 
Tomatoes should be grown in every garden, and it is quite simple to grow your own 
plants. Seed may be planted in a hotbed or in a shallow box in the house. About 
five weeks should be allowed for the plants to reach the proper size for transplanting 
out of doors when the weather has become warm and danger of frost has passed. Sow 
the seeds in rows 3 inches apart, covering 
with one-fourth inch of soil. When the plants 
are about 2 inches tall, transplant to a 
larger box or cold frame and space about 
4 inches apart. When transplanted to the 
garden, plant in rows 4 feet apart and 4 
feet apart in the row. The plants should be 
hardened off before setting in the open by 
giving them plenty of air and letting the 
soil get somewhat dry. Be sure, however, 
to give the plants plenty of water a few 
hours before moving them.
