TOMATO. (Liebesapfel). 



NEW STONE TOMATO. BEST FOR MAIN CROP. 



4 to 6 oz. (to trans- 



1 oz. to 1500 plants, 

 plant), for an acre. 



Culture. — Seed may be started in hot- 

 beds in Ma'chor sufficient plants for family 

 use can be grown in pots or boxes in-doors. 

 with very little trouble. 



Be particular to give plants the benefit of 

 the fresh air and sun whenever judicious, for 

 the purpose of hardening them : and cover 

 with mats when necessary to prevent them 

 from frosting. The two extremes of heat or 

 cold are equally injurious. It is customary 

 with the best gardeners to remove the planis 

 from the hot- beds to the cold frames, allowing 

 a distance of several inches between the 

 plants. In May select and prepare the soil, 

 and set the plants three feet apart each way. 

 Hoe and draw earth to the stem. When the 

 plants crowd, the fruit will be small. Have 

 the soil very rich. For general crop sow from 

 middle of April or during May, in open air, 

 selecting good soil, in a location much ex- 

 posed c to the sun and sheltered by a hill, fence 

 or woods on the North.
