TO Raise EARLY ToMAro Es.-About the
first of March, take q few large turnps and cut
ont the hearts of them, to form a sort of cup.
Fill the cavities with erth, and plant two or
three tomato seeds in each. When the seeds
have well sprouted, pull up all but the health
lest plant inIeach turnip and let those that re-
main main stand where they will have the benefit of
the sun; the plant will grow very thrifty-tho
decdyihg turnip furnishing it food. When the
weather becomes sufficiently warm, set the tu.
snips in well prepared soil, not less than three
feet apart, make the lathe frames to keep the
vines from the ground, and keep the soil well
hilled, up around them and you will have crop
that will astonish the NATIVE The advantage
consists in getting the plants started early y,with
out setting them back in transplanting.
