Tomato. 



Sow the seed in March or April, in 

 the hot-bed or in pots, in a sunny ex- 

 posure in the house. If it is desired to 

 make very healthy, stocky plants, they 

 may be transplanted or repotted when 

 about two or three inches high, to 

 dwarf and give them more room. When 

 five or six inches high, if the ground 

 has become warm, transplant them to 

 the open ground on a rainy or cloudy 

 day, if possible ; if not, the young 

 plants should be liberally watered and 

 shaded from the hot sun. The richer 

 the soil, the more handsome and plen- 

 tiful the fruit will be; but if it is desira- 

 ble to have the fruit ripen as early as 

 possible, select rather light, poor soil, 

 and a sunny location. Set the plants 

 four feet apart each way.
