.)BE TllMATO 



For early, sow as soon as the ground can be prepared, in drills 15 

 inches apart, and thin the plants to stand 8 inches apart. Sow for suc- 

 cession at intervals of a fortnight until the last week in July, and from 

 that time onward until the last of August sow for main crop. The sow- 

 ing should always be made just before a rain, if possible, as the success 

 of tbe crop depends, in a great measure, upon quick germination and rapid growth of the 

 young plants. An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill; two pounds will sow an acre.
