TOMATOES. 
To obtain early tomatoes the plants must be started in a hot- 
bed or greenhouse, and when two inches high transplant into a 
hot-bed, four inches apart. When the weather becomes warm, 
in this latitude about the 20th of May, transplant into the field, 
three and one half feet apart each way. If the soil is too rich, 
they will be apt to make a rank growth of vines rather than 
fruiting freely. A light, rather sandy soil is the best. Pinching 
or cuttmg off^the ends of the vines will hasten the ripening of 
the fruit. Plants for a small garden may be started in a box or 
flower pot ia the house.
