TOMATOES 
Early Varieties for the Northwest 
Culture. Sow tomato seed in a hot bed or in 
a shallow box in the house, allowing 6 to 8 
weeks to produce plants large enough for 
setting outdoors when the weather becomes 
warm. Sow in rows 3 in. apart and cover 
with 4 in. of soil. When plants are about 2 
in. tall, transplant to stand 4 in. apart each 
way, or pot singly in 3 in. pots. Plant out- 
doors when all danger of frost is past. Plant 
in rows 4 ft. apart and 3 or 4 ft. apart in 
the row. A pkt. of seed will produce about 
200 plants and 1 oz. 2000 plants.
