TOMATOES 
The seed should be sown indoors in late February or March, 
in shallow boxes or pots placed in a warm, sunny window. As 
soon as the little plants are strong enough, thin or transplant 
them to stand 3 to 4 inches apart; then when they are about 3 
inches high transfer them to small paper pots or dirt-bands. To 
secure extra-strong, stocky plants, transfer them again, when 6 
to 8 inches tall, to larger pots. When all danger from frost is 
past, set them out in the garden, about 4 feet apart each way. 
Treat the seed with Semesan to prevent damping-off of seed- 
lings. Use Transplantone when transplanting the plants to the 
garden. (See fertilizer pages.) To guard against blight, spray or 
dust the plants with a copper fungicide frequently during the 
season; arsenate of lead or DDT will kill the Tomato worms. 
Days to maturity are figured from the time the plants are set 
in the garden. 
An ounce of seed will produce about 2,000 plants
