Tomatoes are an ideal home garden crop, thriving in a clay soil none too fertile and yielding heav¬ 
ily in small space. They should be started indoors and those unable to do this should purchase 
plants. The plants may be set in the garden when danger of frost is over. It is important to give 
them a quick start after transplanting by frequent watering and fertilizing. They should be spray¬ 
ed with bordeaux mixture to prevent disease, and with arsenate of lead to keep off the tomato worm; 
and Pyrox furnishes a combination spray which will accomplish both purposes. Hot sun is needed to 
ripen tomatoes and plenty of water to keep them growing. If trained to stakes or trellises they will 
ripen sooner, though satisfactory crops are produced by allowing the vines to lie on the ground. 
CULTURE—It is easy to grow tomatoes but as they require a long season it is best to start thq plants in a green-house, 
hot bed or in the house. A cigar box kept in a sunny kitchen window will do. Sow the seeds one-eight to a quarter of an inch 
deep and keep the soil moist. As soon as the seedlings make a second pair of leaves transplant to another box or flat, keeping 
the plants four inches apart. When all danger of frost is over s et th e plants out in the garden.
