TOMATO. (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 6o°. 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.
