No vegetable can be put to more “uses, 
They are rich in vitamins, and valuable 
setting of plants to marketable fruits. 
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 freely as the vine advances 
in growth. One ounce will produce 
1500 plants; 4 to 6 ounces will fur- 
nish sufficient plants for an acre. ©
