Tomatoes a Very Profitable Crop
A Talbot man, A J Wilson, argues tomatoes are highly profitable with proper care. He advises choosing top seed, varieties like Paragon and Queen, to prepare warm rich seed beds, ample manure, careful planting, draining land, thorough fertilizing, early manure application, underdraining if needed, and strict weed control. He suggests planting after May 11, spacing four to six feet, and emphasizing labor and pest control.
