ToMAro.-Thirty-6ve years ago this
vegetable was considered unfit for the
table; and now there are none more
popular /; hundreds Of acres are annually
grown in this vicinity, and thousands
Of baskets Of them are daily sold in our
markets throughout their season. 1t is
point Of good gardening to have this
dish early; to accomplish which. SOW
in . spent hot bed early in Spring, and
air freely in fine weather; for late
crop sow the seeds in very warm spot
Of the garden, and cover them at night
or during cold weather with boards !;
when the weather becomes mild and
pleasant, transplant them in sheltered
part Of the garden facing south, or
southeast; as the plants advance, sup
port them with few branches, or tie
them up to stakes.
The earliest plants should have their
tops pinched of as soon as they have
set their fruit. WHICH will cause them
to ripen earlier. It is also very good
plan to plant q few plants in flower
pots, or boxes, very early in the sea-
son, and place them near The glass in a
house, or even on a window sill,
keep them well watered to encourage
their growth, until the weather becomes
settled, then transplant them to the
garden; this will greatly increase their
earliness.
1t is the custom with most cultiva-
tors to allow their Tomato vines to
grow wild and support themselves /;
they perhaps have never given it a
thought, that BY training and properly
pruning them. they will not only in,
crease their productiveness but the fruit
will ripen better and be Of finer quality.
but this is really the case.

lows that was brought over in the Mayhower BY
