TOMATO CULTURE
Miss Moore Gives Full Instructions of
How to Plant and Cultivate
Tomatoes.
To Tomato Club Girls:
I have just received a letter from '
Washington saying that tb? U. S.
[)< par'ment of Agriculture would ^
ioou stud out Instructions to all c
ucmbers of the Girl'sTotnato Clubs
However, it is now time to plant to- :
uatces in tbls part of the country,
so they seut ma a copy of a letter *
jseel bv the girls in Florida. I am ^
ending you u park of this letter. r
aope ycu will study it carefully. If
you do, you will learn a great deal
About raising tomatces. Get your
teacher atid your parents to help
you carry out the instructions giv- s
m thei o n. Measure your ground ?
Accurately, und keep a strict ac- a
jouut cf everything you spend or i
make, or do. This will be of more s
service to you than some parts of t
your arithmetic, and besides it is re t
quired of all club members. ?
' he government will not send out t
seeds this year, you will have to buy i
your own seeds. In addition to c
those recommended in the FioHda [
letter, I have found the June PiDk, i
Maule's Etr' anna and Stone varie- t
ies to be fine. The June Pink pro e
luced more than any other kind 1
used by the club me inters in Horry r
eounty last year. I would advise i
yon to plant a few Brimer;tomatos t
for extra large variety. I hope you i
will raise some fine ones for the (
show next summer when wo will of- t
for prizes for tlie finest fresh toma i
io(3s. You can order seeds from T. i
W. Woods & Sons, Richmond, Va , i
?r buy from local merchants at 5c 1
per package. You should get your !
kieds and plant them just as soon as 1
possible. 1
Let us all come together and try *
to make the largest, the best, and 1
ihe most tomatoes in Horry county !
this year. i
Please write to me vhen you need <
anything, I will answer your letter ?
us ?^oon as possible, and shall aluo *
be glad to hear frona you regarding 5
progress ycu are making. t
With best wishes, I am <
Very Truly Yours, <

Advice to Tomato Club Members.
Gainesville, Fla
Jan. 4, 1913. (
Tomato Culturo in Florida,
Tomatoes form one of the staple
food products. They are used in
sc me form in almost overjf AoQerii
a i home. Home grown tomatoes
[Lw.y be served fresh or canned, in '
every rural home every day in the
year, and surplus home canned tomatoes
find a retdy market because
of tneir superior fiavor and full pack 1
The abundant use of tomatoes in 1
the home, either fresh in season, or >
canned throughout the remainder of
the year, t fiords variety for the taole
and may add materially to the
health of the family. The sales 1
fi om the surplus fresh or canned to- 1
m .toes may provide funds with
which to purchase many needed 1
home comforts.
Th rough the work and influence
of the Girls' Gardening and Cann- 1
iug Clubs of Florida we hope to 1
havo every rural home in the state
supplied throughout the whole year
with home-grown and home-canhed i
* * * y - * _
tomatoes, with an ample surplus to i
sell to those who live in town or ,
city. I
The following instructions for I
growiug tomatoes in Florida were i
prepared for the use of the members j
of the Girls'Gardening and Can- i
ning Clubs of the State. It is not ]
possible in a single short article to j
prepare rules in detail exactly ap- i
plicable to all sections of the State, <
and, therefore, we have endeavored i
to poepare a general guide to toma i
to culture. i
SOIL. 1
The tomato grows well on a varie j
ty of soils, as black muck, stiff clay, ?
and light sand provided good drain ,
age, thorough culitvation, and a suf i
ficient amount of perfectly balanced ,
fertilizer are given. The best yields j
are usually gotten from rich sandy, (
or sandy loam soils, underlaid by a <
well drained subsoil of somewhat <
closer texture It is one of the few j
truck crops that groWs well on new j
ly cleared land. ,
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL. J
/ I
The soil should be put into the 5
best possible physical condition be {
fore the tomatoes are .set. The land 1
should be broken as deep as can be,
without turning up the sub-soil, in
December or January, and at inter- 1
vals of ten days or two weeks and ?
also following rains, should be barrowed,
thus putting the surface in
a well pulverised condition,
FERTILIZER. J
erUio nf moHmm fertility, one
V/ii oiyuo ui w. . ? ... - , .
two-horse wagon load of well rotted
stable manure may bo broadcast
over the ground, of the eue-tenth
acre plot, and turned under when i
the grown is broken. In addition |
to this, 40 \o 80 pounds of commer
cial fertilizer anul^zieg 3 per cent
Nitrogen, 6 per cent Phosphoric
acid, and 9 per cent Potash should
be sown in the drill and thoroughly
mixed with the soil ten days or two ;
weeks before the plants are set. If
stable manure is not used, 80 to 120
pounds of commercial fertilizer, con
taining from 4 to 6 per cent of Ni
trogen, 7 to 8 per cent of Phosphor
ic acid, and 9 to 10 per cent of Pot
ash, is needed for best results.

VARIETIES. |
So mo of the special featu *03 of a !
lesirable < anuio# variety are pro'
iuotiveness. smoothuess, solidity,1
lolor, and small percentage of loss'
in paring. Paragon, Chalk's Early !
Tiwel, Beauty, and Acme, all pos j
)ess these qualities in a higher de
free than ibe Globe and Stone,
vhieh aro so highly esteeoied as
Jhipping varieties,
STARTING THE PLANTS,
In the southern part of the State
teed-beds aro planted in Ocbibar
md November and iu the central
md northern parts in January and
Tebruary. A seed-bed 4 by 6 feet ^
hould be provided. The bed should 1
>e covered about two inches deep
vith well rotted stable manure, to ,
vhich is added one ounce of Acid 1
jhosphate and 2 to 3 ounces of Kaiu
t. This should be thoroughly mix
sd with the soil while breaking and
julverizing it. The seed bed should
lot be quite as rich as the field to
vhlch tne plants aro transplanted,
dse they will bo checked in their
ater growth, and, therefore, will
lot be so fruitful. It is importaut {
n tomato growing to have the plant <
inchecked from the time it comes J
ip till it begins putting on fruit
3 loth covered frames are satisfac,oiy
for protecting the young p'ants
n Florida and are cheaper than tho ,
lot beds and sash-covered frames
ised further north. These may be |
juilt after the ground nas oeeii pre
jarcd The back or north side of
jhe framo should be about 24 inches
h'gh, the south side about 12 inches;
six feet is a good width and the
ength should be as great as neces *
sary to produce about double the
lumber of plants needed for the
lcreage to be planted. The cover
s made of unbleached sheeting ,
ititched together so as to form a
iLeob seven feet wide and as long
is the bed. One side of this is nail
jd to the back of the framo ad then
ither side is nailed between two 1 x
I inch strips of wocd, thus making
i square roller on which the curtain
is rolled up, leaving the b?d uncov
3red. iNarrow strips for support
ing the cover are placed across the
frames two or three feet apart.
Sow in rovs across the bed six in
ches apart?about 8 to 10 seed to
the inch, cover 4 to h inch deep and
pack the earth well over them.
Keep the soil moist by sprinkling,
if necessary, and rake the ground
ightly between the rows the next
day after sp? inkling and after each
rain. This checks evaporation aud
helps to prevent damping ofl' of the
seedlings. Pjants shoili be thined
to h inch apart quite early to
avoid crowding and becoming ^leggy".
One-half ounce of gocd seed
will produce enough plants to set
the one-tenth acre plot It will
take from 45 to 60 days for the
plants to grow huge onough to
transplant.
Plants for yery early planting
may be started in shallow boxes and ,
"picked out," when they have four
leaves, into cold frames 3 or 4 inch
es each way and grovn till large
anough for transplanting.
TRANSPLANTING.
If possible select i\ time for trans
planting when the soil is moist, but
mot. ?\nrl the air still and warm.
Just before setting the plants the
ground should be ihrov/n into broad
Sat ridges four to feet apart, va
rying in height from almost level in
sandy soil to several inches higher
in stiffer, moister land. Plants are
put in condition for transplanting ,
flowing a scar.t supply of water for
a few days before, wUh ^the fullest
exposure of air ar.d sun, then an
thorough wetting a few hours be '
fore they are taken up. Take up
the plants for the day's planting ir
the early morning, being careful t
secure as much of iho root as possi
ole, pack thein tightly in a box
ind keep them in a shady plac.
with canvass or burlap thrown ove
them. Holes to receive the plant
may be made with a dibble or plan
ing trowel, either of which may b<
made of wood. The plants are plat
>d in these holes an inch or twt
deeper than they stood in the bed,
the earth is packed closely aboui
the roots,?especially at the bofcton
* slight saucer shaped depression i:
left about the plane and into this 2
half dipperful of water is poure<
and the depression filled with dr
sarth,?left loose to prevent cakin;
and evaporation.
CULTIVATION.
As soon as the plants are set the
ground should be well stirred to tb
greatest depth porsible with a smal
toothed cultivator, as the tramp!n;
necessary to setting the plants con
pacts and hardens the soil, whicl
needs to bo loosened and areatads
Cultivation should follow ever}
wetk from time of planting till a
tor fruit begins to ripen, and shoulc
be quite shallow after the first two
workings,?th xt tht roots that hav<
