TOmflTO 



CULTURE. — The seed should be sown about J^ inch deep during March or early April in a hotbed, greenhouse, or window 

 of a room, where a night temperature of not less than 60 degrees is kept. When the plants are about two inches high, they 

 should be set out three inches apart in boxes three inches deep, or potted into three-inch pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. 

 r hey are sometimes shifted a second lime into larger pots, by which process the plants are rendered more sturdy and branching. About the middle of May 

 in this latitude, the plants may be set in the open ground. Maturity dates given, have been estimated from the time the plants are set out in the garden.
