TOMATO 



Stebefapfel Tomate Tomate 



For early plants sow in liotbeds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and one-half inch deep ; when the plants are about 2 inches high, 

 transplant into another hotbed 4 inches apart each way ; plant out in the open ground early in May, or as soon as danger from frost is over, 

 4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water freely at time of transplant- 

 ing; when the first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in 

 a shallow box or large flower pot by placing it in a sunny window in a warm room or kitchen. For late use sow in a sheltered border in 

 May, and set out the plants in July. The green fruit can be picked off before frost and ripened under glass. By training the vines on trel 

 lises or tying to stake, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality. 



Comet. This is a splendid variety for either indoors or out. It is 



very short-jointed, fruiting close up to the stem. The 



tomatoes are of good medium size, quite smooth, very solid, and of 

 a deep scarlet color. Comet has been extensively used for forcing 

 by market growers, and is now the favorite sort for this purpose.

 and bears with great freedom. Fruits of good size, fairly smooth, 

 deep in color, and of superb quality. This Tomato has been quite as 

 successful in the open ground as for a winter crop under glass. (Eng-
