Tomnioes

some years ago we recommended to our
readers to trim ioma,oes, and we have found
no cause Tor changing our practice, The
plant bears 50 per cent Of It's iruit within
Is inches OF the ground, while more than
haliof :he plants above that point. When
the branches are cut they d1. mot bleed. and
they may therefore b, shortened in immedi.
ntely above the large or early setting fruit.
The removal Of the small fruit on the ends
Of the branches is no los, for the lower
fruit will swell to an unusual size BY the
trimming, aud both a greater weight and
measure Vt fruit will b. the Consequence,
beside obtaining a larger portion Eve or &c
teen days earlier. Tho trimming should bo
80 done as to leave few leaves beyond the
fruit, 10 insure perfect ripcnins. when
tomatoes arc frs, brought TO market they
bring frequently 81 per laskoi, and in ten
days tall in price To 80 cents. The impor-
tanee Of early maturing Is too evident to
need comment. The buryns of the rcmoy-
ei portions Immediately around the plant is
q good practice, both by in'urins Toll dis
turbancc Of the soil. and by the pr,sentins
a fertilizer progressed precisely to the point
for fruit MAKING. Tho portions buried de-
cay rapidly, and are readily assimilated.
