crop, the readiest form of training is 

 up the strings. Place a 12-inch screw, 

 such as is used for cucumber vines, 

 twelve inches from the base of the 

 rafter, another halfway up and a third 

 at the height to which you intend the 

 tomatoes to grow. Tie the string 

 around the base of the tomato plant 

 under the second leaf, and then hitch 

 it firmly to each wire. Give the vines 

 a twist around the string and they will 

 have sufficient support for a plentiful 

 crop of fruit. The object aimed at is 

 efficiency, utility and economy. 



Sdemtlfic Feeding. 



The tomato will stand more feeding 

 than most growers realize, providing it 

 is done on a common-sense line. Science 

 is organized common sense. We want 

 to sell fruit; we cannot sell the foliage. 

 At the same time, healthy foliage is 

 necessary to a good crop of fruit. Let 

 US remember three things: First, ni- 

 trate promotes growth; second, phos- 

 phate gives fruitfulness and early ma- 

 turity; third, potash gives quality and 

 flavor.

tomato grower. In the early stages of 

 the plant it is best and safest to use 

 it in the shape of bone meal. Later, 

 as the plants develop, superphosphate, 

 in the form of rock phosphate, is best, 

 as its action is quicker and it is more 

 valuable. Most phosphates are accom- 

 panied with a guarantee of fourteen per 

 cent solubility, wHch is sufficient for 

 our purpose. 



Nitrogen is best applied in the form 

 of good bone meal, for the early stages 

 of the growth. A good bone meal will 

 contain four and one-half per cent of 

 ammonia, which will be sufficient until 

 the plants are heavily fruited. If ni- 

 trogen is required then, in a quick-act- 

 ing form, a fish guano or a blood ma- 

 nure containing from twelve to four- 

 teen per cent of ammonia will be the
