‘Tomatoes 
CULTURE: Start early tomato plants indoors, 
allowing 4 to 6 weeks to produce plants for setting 
out. Sow in hotbeds or shallow boxes in rows early 
in the year. Seed should be 4 to 6 inches apart and 
14 inch deep. When the plants are about 2 inches 
high, transplant into 3-inch pots or shallow boxes 
4 inches apart each way. Transplant in the open 
ground when all danger of frost is past, 3 to 4 feet 
apart each way. Cultivate frequently. An ounce 
will produce about 3,000 plants, or enough for 4% 
acre.
