TOMATO 
For early plants sow in hotbeds early in March or April, 
in drills 5 inches apart and Ya inch deep; when the plants 
are about 2 inches high transplant into another hotbed 4 
inches apart each way; plant out in the open ground early 
in May, or as soon as danger from frost is over, 4 feet apart 
each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well- 
rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water freely at time of 
transplanting, but after the plants are well established water 
sparingly and at the roots only, as spraying the vines and 
overwatering causes the blossoms to drop off; when the first 
fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early 
fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in a 
shallow box by placing it in a sunny window in a warm 
room. For late use sow in a sheltered border in May, and set 
out the plants in July; the green fruit may be picked off be- 
lore frost and ripened under glass. By training the vines on 
trellises or tying to stakes, the fruit will ripen better and be 
of finer quality. The fruit matures in 150 days.
