TOMATO. 
Tomates. Liebes Apfel. 
Sow thinly about the first week in March in a 
hot-bed, greenhouse, window, or sitting room, where 
the temperature is never below 60 degrees. When 
two inches high set out the plants in boxes about 
four inches apart, or pot singly. About the first of 
June they may be transferred to the open ground. 
Set them deeply, four feet apart, and a shovelful of 
rotted manure should be mixed in the earth of each 
hill. If the vines are trained on trellis the fruit will 
be finer and larger.
