Miss Stake doesn't care for tomatoes. What does this mean?
The expression "I don't mind (tomatoes)" indicates that the speaker isn't bothered by tomatoes, or that they don't have strong feelings about tomatoes: they don't love them, nor do they hate them.
Miss Stake says that she doesn't "care for" tomatoes which expresses that she doesn't like the taste of tomatoes. The expression "I don't care for (something or someone)" indicates dislike or distaste on the part of the speaker. Example: I don't care for my wife's father because he always criticizes me.
The expression "I wouldn't mind (tomatoes)" is a polite expression which expresses that the speaker would in fact enjoy eating tomatoes. For example: "I wouldn't mind a glass of wine" indicates that the speaker actually wants a glass of wine.
"To care about something" is to have an interest in it. If Miss Stake "doesn't care about tomatoes" then she has no interest in them. The expression Miss Stake uses (I don't care for tomatoes) actually indicates her distaste for tomatoes. She is saying that she doesn't like tomatoes.

It is similar to other polite constructions such as "Do you mind (doing something)?" or "Could you (do something)?".

This is an incorrect use of the verb "to care". The correct construction is "to care FOR (someone or something)" which describes the act of "watching", "guarding", or "overseeing". Example: Will you care for me when I am older?
"If you (would) care to (+ verb)" is a polite, conditional construction often used for invitations, suggestions or requests. The verb "to care" in this construction is synonymous with "to feel like (doing something)" or "to want".

Example: If you care to wait, I'm sure you will receive an answer soon.
The expression "I don't care for (something or someone)" indicates dislike or distaste on the part of the speaker. Example: I don't care for my wife's bad breath, which is why I'm divorcing her.
