TOMATO. (Liebes Ap/el.) 



Lb. 



.15 .50 #1.50 



Sow thinly about the first week in March in a hot-bed, greenhouse, window, or sitting room, where the tempera- 

 ture is never below 6o°. When two inches high set out the plants in boxes, about four inches apart, or pot singly. 

 If again transplanted before setting out the plants will be "greatly benefited. 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. For early Tomatoes choose a sunny knoll and light sandy loam, if possible. If the vines 

 are tiained on trellis the fruit will be finer and larger. 7'kere are about two thousand Tomato seeds in an ounce. 



The Rochford. A grand forcing pkt. Oz. U lb. 

 Tomato, combining great pro- 

 ductiveness with excellent form 

 and splendid quality. The fruit, 

 which is round and perfectly 

 smooth, is of medium size and 

 of a deep rich scarlet color. 

 Flesh very solid, something of 

 much importance in a forcing 

 Tomato. The fruit is produced 

 on bunches which average six to 

 ten fruit each. This variety is a 

 remarkably free setter, less sus- 

 ceptible to mildew than such 

 popular sorts as Eclipse and Best 

 of All, and is the ideal of what 

 a forcing Tomato ought to be .
