Why not start your own tomato plants from seed indoors this spring?
Its one of the rarest ways to get fniita of the quality you really like.
Buy a packet of iced gather your materials together and get to work
about six or eight weeks before time to set the plants outdoors hi too
garden. If you want a fairly large number of plants use a shallow box or
flat in which to sow the seeds. Manyf -
home gardeners who need only a
comparatively email number of
plants find a ten-inch clay flower
pot convenient Fill the container
with fine soil to within one-half
inch at the top. Shake the seed
from the packet as evenly as pos-
sible over the surface. Scatter fine
soil over the seeds to a depth of
about one-quarter inch. Firm the
soil with the flat of your hand.
Cut several layers of newspaper
to fit file top of the flat or day
pot Keep the paper 'well soaked
with water. Every day or so lift the
paper and peek in for signs of life.
Remove it as soon as the filing
begin to sprout Until.fhe seedlings
1 appear tha flat or pot can be placed
anywhere hi a room of moderate
temperature. Aa eoon. as they do
come up however the container
should be placed in a sunny window.
Set to it that the tender sprouts do
not get chilled; take care that the
sunshine does not overheat them.
Keep the soil moist but not too wet
The plants will probably come
up thickly in tha container. When
the second pair of leaves appear
they should ho transplanted to other
flats or pots as the base may be.
In their new quarters they should
stand one-and-a-half to two incites
apart For a ten-inch pot this
means about twelve plants.
Avoid injuring tha roots of the
little plants hy lifting them out
gently with e slender knife blade or
a pencil. In the second flat or pot
make the holes deep enough and
wide enough to toko the roots with-
out cramping. Firm the soil around
the base of each transplanted seed-
ling with your fingers.
Let the plants continue to grow
in e sunny window until time to
set them out about one to two
week after all danger of frost is
past Do not let them get chilled.
Turn file containers around occa-
sionally to allow all the plants to
get equal light and sunshine.
When it comes to selecting varie-
ties Bonny Best Rutgers and Afar-
globe are all excellent for eating
fresh for canning; and for juice
Earliauia is a food choice U you are
looking for early fruits. For e late
variety Stone is a splendid standby.
