TOMATOES 
CULTURE—Days indicated represent the time required from 
the setting of plants to produce marketable fruits. One ounce 
of seed should produce 2,000 plants. Tomatoes do best on light, 
warm, not over-rich soil. Success depends in a large measure 
upon securing a rapid, vigorous, unchecked growth during the 
early part of the season. For first early tomatoes select varie- 
ties of the earliest types, and start the plants under glass in 
hot beds or greenhouses during February and March. When the 
plants are about 2 inches high they should be transplanted to 
flats, pots or plant boxes. Never crowd the plants, but keep 
them short and stocky. Plants already in bloom, if in pots or

boxes, may be transplanted to the open ground without dis- 
turbing their roots, and will continue to bloom and fruit 
without check. When danger from frost. has passed, set the 
plants in the field in rows about 4 feet apart each way, in warm, 
mellow soil of fair fertility. For main crop the plants can be 
started somewhat later in hot beds or cold frames and then 
set in the open ground the same as the early varieties. Tomatoes 
require very little water, just enough to keep them in good 
growing condition; too much water will cause them to blight. 
Cultivate often and thoroughly as long as the vines will permit.

the crop may be badly injured.
