TOMATO. 
Tilden Tomato. 
Tli is delicious vegetable is one of the most important of all garden pro- 
ducts. The seed should be sown in a hot-bed aoout the first week in 
March, in drills five inches apart, and halt* an inch deep. When the 
plants are about two inches high they should be set out four or five inches 
apart in another hot-bed or removed into small pots, allowing a single 
plant to a pot; they are sometimes transplanted a second time into larger 
pots, by which process the plants are rendered more sturdy and branch- 
ing. About the middle of May* the plants may be set in the open ground j 
they are planted, for eaily crops, on light, sandy soil, at a distance of 
three feet apart, in hills, in which a good shovelful of rotted manure has 
been mixed. On heavy soils, which are not suited for an early crop, they 
should be planted four feet apart. Water freely at the time of transplant- 
ing, and shelter from the sun for a few days ui. til the plants are estab- 
lished. Sufficient plants for a small garden may be started by sowing a 
few seeds in a garden pan or flower pot, and placing it in a sunny win- 
dow of the sitting-room or kitchen.
