TOMATO. 



'J'oinate, Fr. Tomats, SP. 



For early plants sow in hotbeds early in March, iji drills 5 inches apart and \ 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 apait 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 fiuit. Sufficient plants 

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

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

 ripened uniler glas^- By training the vines on trellises or tying to stakes, the fruit will ripen better and be of hiier quality.
