TOMATOES 
Culture—Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not over rich soil, and success depends upon securing a rapid, 
vigorous and unchecked growth during the early part of the season. Sow in hotbeds from six to eight weeks be¬ 
fore they can be set out of doors, which is when danger from frost is past; when the plants have four leaves. 
To insure best results in respect to early ripening, as well as the amount and perfection of fruit, it is advis¬ 
able to train up and trim the vines, especially if the patch is rather small. When the plants have been properly 
started and are six to ten inches high, they will begin to throw out branches. Select one of the largest and most 
vigorous of these and pinch off ail others except this one and the main stem. Care must be exercised not to pinch 
off the fruiting branches, which, as they appear, can be distinguished by the buds that are formed very early. 
BONNY BEST

fruit. The tomatoes are uniformly of good size.
