Cultivation of Tomatoes. — About the last week in February or the first week in March is the proper time for starting 
seasonable plants. The plants can be started in greenhouses, hotbeds, window-boxes, or most any sunny spot where the 
temperature is never below sixty degrees. Sow the seed lightly in rows about 5 inches apart, and when the plants have 
reached a height of 2 inches transplant to other hotbeds or boxes, so that the plants are 4 or 5 inches apart each way. May 
15th until June 1st is a good period for the transplanting to the open ground. Set the plants deeply 4 feet apart mixing 
a good shovelful of well-rotted manure with the hilling soil of each plant; water freely at this time and protect for a few 
days from the sun during the midday. A clearer-coloured, better-flavoured, and larger fruit will be obtained by training 
the plants to a trellis. Tomatoes are rapidly growing in favour as a greenhouse vegetable, and the forcing varieties do well 
and show wonderful productions. The plants should be started late in August for a midwinter crop. One ounce of seed 
will produce two thousand to three thousand plants.
