Sow the seed in a hot-bed first week in March, in drills half an inch deep. When the 

 plants are about 2 inches high transplant into another hot-bed or into small pots, one plant 

 in each pot; in that way the plants are strengthened and branch out better. Set the plants 

 out about the first of June, about 3 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 4 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; M, lb. for transplanting- on an acre. 



Bond's Early Minnesota— In a comparative test of 110 varieties of Toma- 

 toes, grown by the celebrated Tomato grower, Mr. T. H. Brinton, of 

 Pennsylvania, Bond's Early Minnesota was found to be the earliest of 

 all, surpassing in earliness such well-known sorts as "Atlantic Prize," 

 "Early Ruby" and "Vaughan's Earliest of All." While possessing 

 the valuable quality of being the earliest, it is also very productive, per- 

 fectly emooth, and of a handsome dark red color, and free from the ob- 

 jectionable cracking around the stem, so often found in Early Ruby.
