TOMATOES 
All our tomato varieties except Marglobe, N. H. 50, and F.N.C. are 
determinate. The seed should not be started before April 20. Do not set 
out plants that have either fruits or flowers because this delays ma- 
turity. They will do best in a rich, well-manured soil with plenty of 
super phosphate, in a warm location.
