HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
TOMATOES FOR GREENHOUSE CULTURE 
T O FILL the gap in the supply of fresh tomatoes, exist- 
ing between the time the outdoor supply ceases in 
the North and before the Southern produce reaches the 
market, large quantities of fruits are grown under glass. 
Seeds are generally sown during September and October, 
seedlings transplanted, set out two feet apart in benches, 
following methods described previously. It is customary, 
however, to train the plants to one single stalk. 
Stirling Castle is a bright red, small-fruited English sort; 
Comet, as already mentioned on page 132, is an equally 
desirable sort of same color and time of maturity. Bonny 
Best is a large sort, of better flavor, though inclined to pro- 
duce irregular shaped fruits in the first clusters. All of 
above three are ready in about ninety-five days. 
Livingston s Globe is unquestionably the most depend- 
able purple sort, maturing its perfect, globe-shaped fruits 
in 100 days. Its solidity, smoothness, flavor, and ship- 
ping qualities leave nothing to be desired.
