“ TOMATOES 
Tomatoes should be grown in every 
garden, and it is quite simple to grow 
your own plants. Seed may be planted 
in a hotbed or in a shallow box in the 
house. About five weeks should be al- 
lowed for the plants to reach the proper 
size for transplanting out of doors when 
the weather has become warm and dan- 
ger of frost has passed. Sow the seeds 
in rows 3 inches apart, covering with 
one-fourth inch of soil. When the plants 
are about 2 inches tall, transplant to a 
larger box or cold frame and space 
about 4 inches apart. When transplanted 
to the garden, plant in rows 4 feet apart 
and 4 feet apart in the row. The plants

should be hardened off before setting in 
the open by giving them plenty of air 
and letting the soil get somewhat dry. 
Be sure, however, to give the plants 
plenty of water a few hours before mov- 
ing them.
