TOMATO Lycopersicum esculentum 
1 pkt. produces 200 plants, 1 0z. 2500. Seeds can be 
sown indoors in March or April and the plants set 
out about May 15; or for a later crop, seed can be 
sown directly outside in late April in the open 
ground and transplanted in late May. Allow 4’ each 
way between plants if they are not to be staked. If 
staked, 2’ apart and rows 3’ apart. Stakes should be 
at least 6’ high and put in place when the plants are 
set. Train the plants to a single stem removing side 
shoots as they appear. These shoots develop at the 
point where the leaf joins the main stem. A trim- 
mer, more easily cared for garden, and superior, 
easily harvested fruit result from the staking 
method.
