Training the Tomato.

A report of che Maine Pathological Society
contains an account of novel method of
training the tomato plant. Stakes seven or
eight feet long, were inserted in the ground
the last of May, three. feet apart, in warm,
sheltered location, and stroLg tomato plants
were procured, which had been started I'M
der glass, and contained one or two blossom
buds. These were planted near the stakes.
The plant was then tied to the stake with
listing, and all the side branches which had
pushed at the axillar or angles formed by
the separation of the leaves, were rinched or
cut out with scissors, so as to compel the
plant to grow on a single stem, and every
week during the season, these branches
were removed and the stems, from time to
time, were tied to the stake. When suffi-
cent number of clusters had been formed,
the remainder were removed. so as to con-
centrate the whole energies Of the growth
and ripeningof the remaining tomatoes; and
the heaviest branches were supported by ty-
ing them to the stakes. AS the result, the
ripening of the tomato by this method is ac-
CELEBRATED, and its flavor is improved, be
cause every part of the plant is exposed to
the free action of the sun and air. 1t is not
soiled by coming in contact with the ground;
is not so apt to decay, and more ripe toma-
toes can be raised in limited space; but it re-
quires constant care and industry.
