Tomato 
Tomatoes are planted indoors in a window garden 
about the first of March. When the third leaf of 
a plant has formed, put the plant into a 3-inch pot 
or band. After all danger of frost is over, the plants 
may be set out in the open ground. Do not plant 
Tomatoes within 3 feet of any other crop. Dig holes 
3 feet apart and deep enough to allow placing the 
plant an inch or two deeper than it was in the pot. 
Cover the top of the pot with your fingers, holding 
the plant between them; then turn the pot upside 
down, tapping it with a trowel or other tool, when 
the plant will easily come out. Place it in the 
ground, pressing the earth around it; if the earth 
is dry, water it as soon as the plants are set. Some 
people put a ring of heavy paper around the plant, 
at the top of the soil, to keep off cutworms. June 
Ist is the usual time for transplanting. Tie the 
growing plants to stakes. One oz. will make about 
1500 plants.
