German, Liebesapfel, ~ _. French, Tomate: 
Sow the seed in a hot-bed first week in March, in drilis 
half an inch deep. When the plants are about two inches

one plant in each pot; in that way the plants are strength- 
ened and branch. out better. Set the plants out about the 
first of June, about three feet apart, for early crop, mixing « 
-Shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. For late 
crops, or where the soil is heavy, plant four feet apart.

plants may be raised by sowing seed in a pot or a box in 
the house. z ;

of tomato fame, will be sufficient to 
warrant most growers to give it a lib- 
eral trial. It is of beautiful

ing taken than with flat fruit- 
ed sorts. Among the very first 
to ripen, although of large 
size, very smooth, firm fleshed, 
few seeds, ripens evenly; col- 
or a beautiful glossy rose, 
tinged purple. Flavor very 
delicate and agreeable; splen- 
did slicing variety. The fruit 
is borne on ‘short jointed 
branching plants in great 
abundance — literally loaded

dest for greenhouse growing 
or first early crop on stakes or

ind fixed new sort. Every

New Dwarf Stone—A splendid ee 
new Tomato, originating with the famous Livingstons. In 
habit of vine it resembles Dwarf Champion, but it is of 
stronger growth and more erect. The fruits are the same 
color and size as the regular Stone, with the additional ad- 
vantage of the Dwarf Champion habit. Under ordinary 
field culture this sort completely outclasses Dwarf Cham- 
pion. Here is-the record: ‘Ten fruits picked at one time 
from one vine weighed 5 lbs. and 3 oz.; five fruits selected 
for average specimens weighed 2 lbs. 9 oz., or a safe average 
of say % 1b. Specimen fruits of 1 lb. each are very com- 
mon. This will without question become a standard sort.
