MARGLOBE 
Tomatoes 
Tomatoes are planted indoors in a win- 
dow garden about the first of March. 
When the third leaf of a plant has 
formed, put the plant into a 3-inch pot 
or band. After all danger of frost is over, 
the plants may be set out in the open 
ground. Do not plant Tomatoes within 3 
feet of any other crop. Dig holes 3 feet 
apart and deep enough to allow placing 
the plant an inch or two deeper than it 
was in the pot. Cover the top of the pot 
with your fingers, holding the plant be- 
tween them; then turn the pot upside 
down, tapping it with a trowel or other 
tool, when the plant will easily come out. 
Place it in the ground, pressing the earth 
around it; if the earth is dry, water it as 
soon as the plants are set. Some people 
put a ring of heavy paper around the 
plant, at the top of the soil, to keep off 
cutworms. June Ist is the usual time for 
transplanting. Tie the growing plants to 
stakes. One ounce will make about 1,500 
plants.
