Ponderosa Tomato (Purple-red) 
PLANT-TWISTS, 
TOMATOES 
One ounce will produce about 1000 plants. Yield 
begins 9 to 13 weeks after setting out. 
Abundant source of vitamin C. 
Although the purchase 
of plants .is established 
practice with most home 
gardeners, growing To- 
matoes from seed is eco- 
nomical] and entirely prac- 
tical. It should be sown 
sparingly in a_ hotbed, 
greenhouse, or in the 
home from the second 
week in February to the 
end of April. When the 
plants are about 2 inches 
high they should be trans- 
planted about 4 inches 
apart, or thinned so that 
they do not overcrowd. 
Around May 15 the plants 
may be set out in the open 
ground, 3 feet each way. 
Protect each plant with a 
Cutworm Guard; other- 
wise cutworms may de- 
stroy it. For an autumn 
crop, sow seed in May in 
the open. 
To have clean, disease- 
free Tomatoes provide 
each plant with a strong 
stake or other support to 
keep the fruit off the ground. If leaves are being eaten, search for and destroy the Jarge green Tomato 
horn worm (rarely more than one on a plant).
