Marglobe Tomato 
TOMATOES 
Wherever starting plants inside is practicable, that 
practice is often more satisfactory than to purchase 
plants locally. Seed should be sown from the 
second week of February to the end of April, in 
flats or hotbed. Two-inch plants should be thinned 
or transplanted 4 inches apart to prevent crowding 
that will induce spindly growth. About mid-May, 
seedlings may be set outside, 3 feet apart. Use of 
cutworm guards is recommended _ for protection 
when the plants are set. Seed may be sown in May 
for a late crop. A strong support will be required, 
as the plants start growing vigorously. alf ounce 
of seed produces about 500 plants. Days to ma- 
turity are determined from time seedlings are set 
out,
