Culture. — Sow in a hotbed 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 hotbed 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 

 illustrated on page 57 of this cata- 

 logue. ) Fruit may be had several weeks 

 earlier by sowing seed quite early, and 

 transplanting to small pots ; when these 

 are filled with roots, shift to a larger 

 size, and transplant to open ground 

 when the weather is warm and settled, 

 shading from the sun for a day or so. 

 As the roots are not disturbed in taking 

 plants from the pots, the plants suffer 

 no check, but grow right on. 



Skillful cultivators, by selecting and 

 hybridizing, have greatly improved the 

 Tomato.
