TOMATOS: CROPPING AND FEEDING. 
I T lias long since been impressed on me 
that to grow good large Tomatos in 
p\ abundance it is necessary to give the 
plants very liberal treatment. To begin 
with, we allow good strong loam well enriched, 
such as one would supply to melons. We allow 
only the main stem to grow as far as space 
will permit, and during the season from 12 ft. 
to 18 ft. may be reached. The young lateral 
growths are not allowed to extend, but are 
rubbed off as soon as they are perceived. The 
fruit may be thinned out to from three to six in
