The |. W. Scott Co., Seedsmen 
TOMATOES 
The seed should be sown indoors in late 
February or March, in shallow boxes or pots 
placed in a warm, sunny window. As soon as 
the little plants are strong enough, thin or 
transplant them to stand 3 to 4 inches apart; 
then when they are about 3 inches high trans- 
fer them to small paper pots or dirt-bands. To 
secure extra-strong, stocky plants, transfer 
them again, when 6 to 8 inches tall, to larger 
pots. When all danger from frost is past, set 
them out in the garden, about 4 feet apart 
each way. 
Treat the seed with Semesan to prevent 
damping-off of seedlings. Use Transp:antone 
when transplanting the plants to the garden. 
(See fertilizer pages.) To guard against blight, 
spray or dust the plants with a copper fungi- 
cide frequently during the season; arsenate of 
lead or DDT will kill the Tomato worms. 
Days to maturity are figured from the time 
the plants are set in the garden. 
An ounce of seed will produce about 
2,000. plants.
