TOMATO 
Culture. For earliest crop, sow in a hotbed or 
shallow boxes in February or March and transplant 
when 2 or 3 inches high to small] pots, trays or cold- 
frames. When danger of frost is past (usually in 
this climate May 1 to 10), set in open ground 3 by 4 
feet apart. Tomatoes should be staked to keep the 
fruit from the ground, to prevent blight and mil- 
dew, and to make them more prolific. For late 
crop sow in open bed in April or May. 
A packet produces 200 plants, an ounce 
about 2000 plants, 2 ounces enough plants for 
an acre. 
The number of days indicated repre- 
sents the time required from setting of 
plants to picking of fruit.
