CULTURE. Tomatoes do best on a 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 hot 
beds from six to eight weeks before they can be set out of doors, which is when danger from frost 
is past. When the plants have four leaves transplant into shallow boxes or cold frames, setting them 
A to 5 inches apart. Give plenty of air, and endeavor to secure a vigorous, but steady and healthy 
growth, so that at the time of setting in the open ground they will be strong and stocky. Evena 
slight check while the plants are small will materially diminish their productiveness. Set out of 
doors as soon as danger from frost is over, but before doing so, harden off the plants by gradually 
exposing them to the night air and by the withdrawal of water until the wood becomes hard, and 
the leaves thick and of a dark green color. Transplant carefully, and cultivate well as long as the 
vires will permit. The fruit is improved in quality if the vines are tie. to a trellis or to stakes
