HOW TO GROW TOMATOES. It is easy and economical 
to grow your own plants. Sow the seed in boxes in the house if 
you do not have a hotbed; start in February or March. When 
seedlings are 3 inches tall, transplant them to 3-inch pots (paper 
or clay) or 4 inches apart in plant-boxes. (We have them.) 
A moderate temperature and sun will make strong, sturdy 
plants. A packet of seed produces several hundred plants; one 
ounce, 3,000 plants; and 6,000 plants will plant an acre which 
will yield from 5 to 10 or more tons.
