TOMATOES 
Pkt., 10c. 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will pro- 
duce from 2,000 to 3,000 plants. Sow the 
seed in hotbeds during March. When the 
plants are 2 inches high transplant into 
cold frames, plant boxes, paper pots or 
earth bands. After all danger of frost is 
over, set these plants into the open 
ground. The soil should be warm, mel- 
low and fertile. Set plants 4 feet apart 
each way. Cultivate often and as long 
as the plants permit. By training the 
tomato vines on trellises or tying to 
stakes, the fruit will ripen better and be 
of finer flavor. A wire fence is a good 
support. When frost is feared in the fall, 
pull the laden vines and hang in a shed 
or cellar and many will continue to 
ripen. When transplanting, mix-one level 
teaspoonful of Vigoro thoroughly with soil 
in which plant is to be set. When flower- 
ing starts, apply one level tablespoonful 
of Vigoro within 6-inch circle around 
plant, Keeping it off stems and leaves. 
Repeat application every two to three 
weeks. 
1 oz. to 2,000 plants. 
Set 3 feet apart takes 4,840 plants 
per acre. 
Set 4 feet apart takes 2,723 plants 
per acre.

CULTURE—For early use sow very 
thinly in March or April in drills from 
12 to 15 inches apart; thin out to 6 inches 
in the rows. For fall or winter crop, sow 
in July and August. The old say: ‘On 
the 20th of July, sow your Turnips, wet 
or dry,’’ is good advice and sow very 
sparingly—one seed to the inch is enough. 
The Rutabagas are grown for feeding

1 Ibs. to the acre.
