TOMATO. 



Tomate, Fr. Tomaies, Sp. 



For early plants sow in hotbeds eaily in Marcln, in drills 5 inches apart and J inch 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-rotled manure mixed with the soil. Water 

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

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

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

 ripened under glass. By training tlie vines on trellises or tynig to stakes, the h'uit will lipen better and be of finer quality.
