German, Liebesapfel. . French, Tomate. 



Sow the Seed in a hot-bed first week in March, in drills 

 half an inch deep. When the plants are about two inches 

 high, transplant into another hot-bed or into small pots, 

 one in each pot; in that way the plants are strengthened 

 and branch out better, get the plants out about the first of 

 June, about three feet apart, for early crop, mixing a 

 shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. For late 

 crops, or where the soil is heavy, plant four feet apart. 

 Water freely when transplanting and protect from the sun. 

 for a few days until the plants are fairly started. A few 

 plants may be raised by sowing Seed in a pot or a box in 

 the house. 

 1 oz. to 1,500 plants. X A lb. for transplanting on an acre.
