Tomato or Love-apple. 
Cultivation.— Sow in March 
on a slight hot-bed, and when two 
or three inches high pot off singly 
into three-inch pots. In middle of 
April place in cool frame or under 
handglasses to harden off. About 
this period great care should be 
taken to keep the young plants 
shaded from the sun, and well 
supplied with water. Towards the 
end of May plant out about four 
feet apart, in good rich soil, against 
a south wall, or close to the fence 
on a warm border. As the plants 
grow they should be trained up 
thinly, and nailed up or fastened. 
Pinch out the young branches from 
amongst the fruit, as it is highly 
important they should have the 
fullest benefit of sun and air to 
insure their full ripening. Fre- 
quent doses of weak liquidmanuro 
all through the growing season will 
be found of great service.
