 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 from the Squashes intended for win- 

 ter use. as the slightest injury will increase the liability 

 to decav.

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

 be sown 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 sufficiently hardy to withstand our winters.) Keep 



the plants cool, so 

 as to make them
