Protect Your Tomatoes from Blight—Dust with ACME TOMATO DUST 
Culture—2 oz. seeds per acre planted in seed bed; 1 lb. to acre field planted; 1 oz. seed for 
2,000 plants. The best soil for tomatoes is a well-manured light sandy loam, however, most of 
our California soils are satisfactory. Be sure to keep the plants growing rapidly with a vigorous 
and unchecked growth during the early part of the season. 
The ground should be well prepared and ground where a cover crop has been sown through 
the winter months and turned under will probably show best results. 
Transplant from seed bed in rows 4 to 6 feet apart and 3 to 6 feet apart in the rows accord- 
ing to the variety. The varieties of upright growth can be spaced closer than the vining types. 
Plant deep so that the roots may be in the cool earth as the heat of the sun, if planted shallow, 
will cause the plants to suffer, which may cause loss of plants. 
The time of planting and variety depend upon your local market, soil and climatic conditions, 
and the purpose for which they are grown. Number of days to maturity is from planting of seeds 
in beds.

Rule—Multiply the distance in feet between 
the rows by the distance the plants are apart 
in, the rows, and product will be the number af 
square feet for each plant or hill; which di- 
vided into the number of square feet (43,560) 
will give the number of plants to the acre.
