TOMATOES 
Time to Sow—It is best to sow indoors in flats, or 
in coldframes, during April, but seed sown outdoors 
in early May will produce fruit in September. 
Planting—When sowing use a good light sifted loam 
and broadcast the seed thinly over the surface, cover 
with not more than 1/8 inch of soil. When the seed- 
lings are from 2 to 3 inches high they should be 
given ample space for proper growth. Either trans- 
plant or thin out so that they will be about 3 
inches apart. After all danger of frost is past these 
plants should be hardened off, by gradual exposure 
to the out-of-doors, during favorable weather; trans- 
planting them to the garden about May 20. Space 
the plants about 3 feet apart in the rows allowing 
4 feet between rows. Closer planting is possible if the 
plants are to be staked. 
One ounce of seed should produce about 1500 plants.
