To get your tomatoes started, more or less garden- 

 ing under gl:iss must be done, as you are probably 

 well aware. Well, when you can manage the toma- 

 to under glass, you are ready to manage almost any 

 other vegetable crop; therefore we regard the to- 

 mato book as one of the most valuable if not <>)« 

 most valuable (jf any work on raising plants and 

 vegetables that require protection from the frost; 

 and whether the in-otection is to be in the fall of the 

 year, or the middle of the winter, or in the spring 

 months, you will find the tomato book full of the 

 latest and most modern apjiliances for giving pro- 

 tection at the smallest expense. Of course, a part 

 of it has already appeared in Gleanings; butprob 

 ably considerably more than half will be found new 

 to our readers.
