TOMHTOES. 



Liebesapfel, Ger. Tomale, Fk. Tomate, Sp. 



For early plants sow in hot-beds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and i inch deep ; when the plants are about 

 2 inches high, transplant into another hot-bed 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 ajiart each way in hills", which should have a shovelful of \vell-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 lo obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in a shallow box or a large 

 flower-pot, by ))lacing it in a sunny window of 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 and ripened under glass. By train- 

 ing the Tomato vines on trellises or tying to stakes, they will increase in productiveness, the fruit will ripen better 

 and be of finer quality. Our Tomato Seeds are saved with extra care, and cannot fail to be satisfactory.

 with a slight purple tinge ; the fruit grows in clusters
