TROPHY TOMATO. 
S Culture.—The seed should be sown in a hot bed 
about the first week in March, in drills five inches apart 
and half an inch deep. When the plants are about two 
inches high they should be transplanted in another hot¬ 
bed and planted four inches apart, or planted in four 
inch pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. About the 
15th of May the plants may be set out in the open 
ground three feet apart. Water freely at the time of 
transplanting. Sufficient plants for a small garden may 
be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or 
flower pot, and placing it in a sunny window of the 
room or kitchen. The fruit is greatly improved in qual¬ 
ity if the vines are tied io a trellis or to stakes.
