TOMATO, or LOVE APPLE. 
( Lycopersicum esculent nm.) Solanace/K. 
We had daring the summer our lOO-feet house of those, grown 
specially for trial and seed. None were better than those 
now offered. 
CULTURE . — Sow in February or March in heat, pot, and 
gradually harden off, so that they may be ready to plant out the 
latter part of May to a sheltered location. For indoor purposes, 
get good piants iu 4 or 6-inch pots ; when they show a truss of 
flower they require fertilising or setting with a camel-hair brush. 
As soon as the fruit is formed, plant them out in ordinary good 
soil, 12 inches from plant to plant, pinch out all side shoots, and 
preserve the large leaves ; if fruit fails to form, apply pollen at 
once, so that the plants bear fruit from bottom to top. Pick fruit 
as soon as ripe, and never select any other than fruit full of seed : 
ill-formed ones are disappointing, and often get seedsmen and 
gardeners in bad repute on this account.

its tall growth and profuse bearing qualities ... ... 1 0
