Culture. For early fruit, sow thin- 
ly in a hotbed or indoors in shallow 
boxes. Harden plants by exposing to 
the air‘oceasionally. In about 6 weeks

Tomatoes are much improved in ap- 
pearance,and quality when trained to 
stakes. The usual method is’ to set 
one strong plant to a 5- or 6-foot 
stake, tying the plant up and pruning 
it quite freely as the vine advances 
in growth. One ounce will produce 
1500 plants; 4 to 6 ounces will fur- 
nish sufficient plants for an acre,
