Culture. The Tomato requires one hundred days ui mor« to 
mature lrom seed. As Tomatoes are killed by other than light 
frost, early Tomatoes should be started in hotbeds 2 months 
before they may be transplanted out-of'doors. Three weeks latet 
these plants may be potted or given a space of A by 4 inches in 
the hotbeds. Before setting in the field, the plants should be 
gradually exposed to the outside conditions and the quantity of 
water given them decreased. Transplant on a cloudy day if pos¬ 
sible, and water freely. Nitrate of soda may be given each plan« 
at this time with profit. A space of A by A feet should be given 
each plant in the field or more for robust varieties, except that 
where they are carefully pruned and trained, which is unneces¬ 
sary, they may be planted as close as 2 by 2 feet. One ounce 
of seed gives 2000 plants
