How to Grow Tomatoes 
Sow seed in a hotbed, or in a shallow box in the house, 
allowing 6 to 8 weeks to produce plants/large enough for 
setting outdoors when weather becomes warm. Light, 
friable soil of medium fertility is best for starting the seed. 
Cover seed with % in. of fine soil or sand. Keep soil moist 
but not too wet and avoid excessive drying. If seed is sown 
in container, keep it in a warm place (65 to 70°). When 
seedlings are about 2 in. tall, transplant to stand 4 in. apart 
each way, or pot singly in 3 in. pots. Plant outdoors when 
all danger of frost is past in rows 3 to 4 ft. apart each way, if 
to be grown untrained and unpruned; if supported onstakes, 
plants may be set 18 to 24 in. apart in the row, except 
hybrids, which should be spaced 2 to 2% ft. apart in the 
row. Disturb roots as little as possible when transplanting. 
Where summers are long, seed of standard varieties may 
be sown directly outdoors when soil and weather get warm. 
When plants are large enough to transplant, set them 
where they are to remain; such plants will come into bear- 
ing later than those started earlier indoors or in a hotbed. 
Sizes and weights mentioned in descriptions are for the gen- 
eral field-run of fruits; with special care they often do 
better than we state. A pkt. of standard tomato seeds 
will produce about 200 plants; 1 oz. 5000 to 6000.
