One ounce Early will plant 50 hills; 1 oz. Marrow, 25 hills. 

 CULTURE. — The plants are very tender and sensitive to 

 cold, and planting must be delayed until settled, warm 

 weather. The general principles of culture are the same as 



■those given for cucumbers and melons, but the plants are 

 less particular as to soil. The summer varieties should be 

 planted 4 feet apart each way, and the winter sorts S feet. 

 Three plants are sufficient for a hill. Care should be taken 

 not to break the stems 



ifrom the Squashes in- 



t tended for winter use. 

 as the slightest injury 

 will increase the liabil- 

 ity to decay.

 M: One ounce will produce 1,500 plants. 



CULTURE. — The Tomato is raised from seed, which should 

 be ^own in the hotbed about February 20th, and continuous 

 sowing made until April 1st, according as the plants are 

 wanted for use. When the plants are about 2 inches high, 

 transplant to 4 inches apart; and, after three or four weeks, 

 . transplant from the hotbed into a coldframe, setting the plants 

 ^8 inches apart each way. (A coldframe is simply a low 

 Wooden frame covered with glass, used to protect such plants 



as are not suffici- 

 ently hardy to 

 with stand our 

 winters). Keep 

 the plants cool, so 

 as to make them 

 stocky. Set out in 

 the open ground 

 about June 1st, in 

 well-enriched soil 

 setting the plants 

 5 feet apart each 

 way.
