Seed should be sown in January^ in hot beds, or in boxes, 

 which must be placed in a sheltered spot, or near windows. In 

 March they can be sown in the oj^en ground. Tomatoes s.\i^ gen- 

 erally sown too thick, and b^^come too crowdpd when two to three 

 inches high, which mak<^s the plants too thin and spindly. If 

 they are transplanted when two to three inches high, about three 

 inches apart each way, they will become short and sturdy, and 

 will not suffer when planted out into the open ground. Plant 

 them from three to four feet apart. Some varieties can be plant- 

 ed closer; for instance, for the Extra Ear-y, which is of vt^ry 



Selecrecl Trophy.
