TOMATOES 
CULTURE — Tomatoes do best in light, 
warm, rich soil. Sow in hot beds about 
eight weeks before they are to be set in 
the field. The time of planting depends on 
the soil and climatic conditions. If you 
want early market tomatoes, we advise 
covering with Hotkap Plant Protectors for 
frost protection. 
Transplant 3 to 6 feet 
apart in rows 4 to 6 feet apart, the dis- 
tance apart to be governed by the nature 
of the plants, whether compact, upright 
growth or of vining habit. Plow and pul- 
verize the soil to a good depth so that the 
roots may penetrate deeply and avoid the 
hot surface soil. Use about 14 pound of 
seed for field planting or 1 ounce of seed 
for every 2,000 plants in the hot bed.
