Liebesapfel—T omatoes—Pomodoro 15c. each, except where noted 
To obtain fruit very early, sow the seeds in greenhouse during February or March, or in hotbed when 
season has sufficiently advanced In about five weeks plants should be transplanted to another hotbed, 
until about the middle of May, when they may be put into the ground in hills, about four feet apart each way. 
The richer the soil the ranker will be the growth of the vines, but an 
ordinary warm, light soil, with fine well-rotted manure in the hill, and 
a sunny location, will produce the more handsome and plentiful fruit.

tween Marglobe and Coop-

crops. The Pritchard is valu- 
able for both market and 
home use, but not as suitable
