 for seed), were grand; the blooms were 

 enormous. There was a large quantity 

 of frames, used for raising small plants. 

 These frames now are filled with flower 

 seeds in pod, in order to dry them for 

 thrashing and cleaning. A greenhouse 

 containing the indoor trials of tomatoes 

 should prove a great attraction to any- 

 one interested in these, since every 

 variety is represented and their cropping 

 and other qualities easily can be com- 

 pared. 



On some of the squares of ground

 purify and improve the stock, only the 

 most perfect being left, so that the 

 strain is always kept up to a high 

 standard of excellence, indeed being 

 generally improved from year to year.
