TOMATO. 



Tomate, Fr, Toinate, Sp. 



For early plants sow in liotlieds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and \ i"ch deep ; when the plants are about 2 inches 

 high, transplant into another hotbed 4 inches apart each way; plant out in the open ground early in May, or as soon as danger 

 from frost is over, 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water 

 freely at time of transplanting ; when the first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants 

 for a small garden can be grown in a shallow box or large flower-pot by placing it in a sunny window in a warm room or kitchen. 

 For late use sow in a sheltered border in May, and set out the plants in July. The green fruit can be picked off before frost nnd 

 ripened under glass. By training the vines on trellises or tying to stake, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality.
