For early fruit sow the seed in 

 March or April, iii the hotbeO or in 

 pots in a sunny exposure in the 

 house. When the plants are about 

 three or four inches high they should 

 be set out four or five inches apart 

 ill another hotbed or cold frame or 

 removed into small pots, allowing a 

 single plant to a pot. Expose to the 

 air as much as possible to harden, 

 and about the middle of May set the 

 plants in the open ground at a dis- 

 tance of four or five feet each way. 

 Water freely at the time of trans- 

 planting, and .shelter from the sun 

 for a few days until the plants are 

 established. Sufficient plants for a 

 small garden may be had by sowing 

 a few seeds in a shallow box or 

 flower pot and placing in a sunny 

 window in the house. Cultivate 

 thoroughly as long as the vines will 

 permit. . . . 



Tomatoes will admit of training to 

 stakes or trellis of variou.« kinds, and 

 the fruit is very much improved 

 both in appearance and ouality. This 

 mode of cultivation is now quite com- 



f-arly market The usual method is to set one strong plant to a stake, using .-.takes five to Te°ven TeTt^in h^^gM^^ying fhe plant 

 i,P with wool or other strong soft twine, pruning out quite freely as the vines advance in growth Bv adopting this method 

 the plants may be set much closer than in the ordinary way. ^luvaiice in growin. ay auopmie
