Ponderosa Tomato (Purple-red) 

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 
lants are about 2 inches 
igh they should be trans- 
planted about 4 mches 
apart, or thmned 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. 

If leaves are being eaten, search for and destroy the large green Tomato horn worm.
