TOMATO. (Liebesapfel ) 



Tomatoes thrive best in a warm, light, rich soil. For early, sow in 

 February or March, in a hot-bed or in boxes or pots in a warm window, 

 and forward as rapidly as possible. When about two inches high 

 transplant into pots, one plant to each pot, or in rows four or five 

 inches apart. They should be kept in a temperature of about 60°. 

 Sometimes they are transplanted a second time, which is a good plan, 

 as it makes them more stocky and branchy. Do not set them out in the 

 open ground until all danger from frost is past; select a warm situation, 

 where they will have the full influence of the sun, and water freely 

 until thoroughly established. It is well to train them upon some 

 support, which "keeps the fruit off the ground and free from dirt, 

 t j8ST One ounce will produce 1,200 plants.
