No garden should be without its quota of Tomatoes. They re- 
quire little care and yield heavily in a small space. No vegetable 
can be put to more uses, cooked or in salads, than Tomatoes. They 
are rich in vitamins, and valuable as an appetizing dish in many 
ways. Our’ Tomato seed is produced under the supervision of ex- 
perienced and qualified seed-breeders; each individual type is rig- 
idly selected and bred.for earliness, productivity, and uniformity 
in size, shape, and color. 
Maturity dates given are from the setting of plants to marketable fruits. 
Culture. For early fruit, sow thin- 
ly in a hotbed or indoors in shallow 
boxes, Harden plants by exposing to 
the air occasionally. In about 6 weeks 
the plants will be ready to set out, 
provided danger of frost is‘over. The 
rows should be 4 to 5 feet apart and 
the plants about 3 feet apart in the 
row, or 2 feet in row if staked. Cul- 
tivate as long as the vines will permit.

Tomatoes are much improved in ap- 
pearance and quality when trained to 
stakes. The usual method is to set 
one strong plant to a 5- or 6-foot 
stake, tying the plant up: and pruning 
it quite freély as the vine advances 
in growth. One ounce will produce 
1500 plants; 4 to 6 ounces will fur- 
nish sufficient plants for an acre.
