Catalogue of tlje Joseph JHarris Qompagy, 
horse, it is but little trouble to Jft the runners and put 
them on one side. In this way the use of a good cultiva¬ 
tor enables us easily and cheaply to keep the land clean, 
mellow and moist. Plant the seed any time in June, the 
earlier the better, provided the soil is warm. 
We test all the new varieties but have found none as 
yet superior to the Hubbard for market.

Tomatoes. 
Perfect Gem Squash. 
Er. Tomate. Ger. Liebesapfel. 
Sow the seed in a box in the house, or in a hot bed about 
the first of March, and when the plants begin to crowd, 
transplant into larger boxes or into a cold frame. Better 
still, transplant into three inch pots. This makes the 
plants strong and stocky, and one such plant is worth 
three of the spindling plants often offered for sale in the 
market. 
Set out the plants as soon as the soil is warm and there 
is no danger of frost. A light sandy loam is usually best, 
though we sometimes get our largest crop on stronger or 
heavier land. Set plants in rows four feet apart and 
three feet apart in the rows. Keep the land well culti¬ 
vated and hoed.
