Culture.— Sow in hot-bed in early spring, or the seed may be sown in shallow boxes and placed in a window, 



when one does not wish to have the 

 trouble of making a hot bed. Trans- 

 planttotheopengroundwhen all danger 

 of frost is past, setting the plants 3 or 4 

 feet apart each way. Some support 

 should always be provided for the vines, 

 to keep the fruit from touching the 

 ground. (See the tomato supports quo- 

 ted and illustrated, page 57 of this cata- 

 logue.) Fruit may be had several weeks 

 weeks earlier by sowing the seed quite 

 early, and transplanting to small pots ; 

 when these are filled with roots, shift to 

 a larger size, and transplant to open 

 [JUl ground when the weather is warm and 

 I settled, shading from the sun for a day 

 or so. As the roots are not disturbed 

 in taking plants from the pots, the plants 

 WMtMsoMte suffer no check, but grow right on. 



Skillful cultivators, by selecting and 

 WmmBB^k^S^m hybridizing, have greatly improved the 



Tomato.
