Sow in pots at a temperature of between 16 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 5 weeks before planting. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clump into the ground at a minimum distance of 50 cm, burying the stem up to the first leaves. Water abundantly at the time of planting.
Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it's best to grow them under cover and, depending on the soil, water them regularly.

"Livingston's Seed Annual
This ancient variety was the first to be introduced in 1870 by Alexander Livingston, America's greatest tomato breeder of the 19th century. He selected it from a variety grown as early as 1848 by Harrison W. Crosby, who specialized in canned tomatoes. Also known as "Livingston's Paragon" after its creator, "Paragon" is considered the ancestor of many modern tomatoes.
