Tomates, (Sp.) Licbes Apfel, (Ger.) 

 Culture. Sow thinly aboxit the first week in March 

 in a hot-bed, greenhouse, window, or sitting 

 room, where the temperature is never below 60

 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. One ounce 

 of seed produces about 1500 plants; J lb. for an acre.
