FARM AND GARDEN.
FORCING TOMATOES.
Some Good Suggestions for Market Gar


Some Good Suggestions for Market Gar
deners
Our Southern States and Bermuda
send their tomatoes to the markets Of
our large cities several months in ad-
vance of the ripening of the nearby
crops, frightening the season consider
ably. Yet it remains for Northern
forcing-houses to round out the supply
so that fresh tomatoes may now be had
any day in the year. Tomatoes grown
under glass make their appearance in
out metropolitan markets, about Christ
mas, and continue TO be offered until the
Florida and Bermuda crops become plen-
tiful.
Many improvements in the methods
of forcing, as we'll as in the selection OF
varities best adapted for this purpose,
have been made within the last few
years. Our illustration represents a
section Of one Of the most successful
forcing-houses in the country, that OF
Mr.. Pierre Lorillard, Jobstown, n. j.
The manager of the place (Mr. John
G. Gardner) raises all his plants from
seed, as he considers this method less
laborious than to propagate from cut
tings.
In the latter case the plants require
much care and attention, SO that they
root rapidly and receive no check in
their growth, else they become stunted
and will never attain the healthy vigor
of seedlings The seeds are sown in
shallow boxes, and when the seedlings

are Of proper size they are trans
planted into two and-a-half-inch pots.
After they are we'll rooted they are
shifted into fve-inch pots, in which
they remain until fiower-buds appear,
when they are transplanted into ten
inch pots, or fruiting boxes. The side
Of the plants on which the buds form is
turned to the south, or the sunlight A
continuous supply of plants is kept up
by making sowing every two weeks,
thus providing sufficient young plants
to replace those that cease fruiting.
The first sowing is made early in Sep
TENDER. The soil used for potting con-
sists of equal parts of common garden
soil and well-rotted stable manure.
Each plant is trained to single
stem, by removing all lateral shoots as
soon as any appear. The stems are
trained to perpendicular strings
stretched from the pots to the roof OF
the house. The pots are placed twenty
inches or two feet apart, so as to allow
free circulation of air around them and
to admit all the light and sunshine pos
sible. When the punches of fruit have
grown to the size of hens'-eggs each
bunch is supported by piece of mating
fastened against the main stem to pre-
vent the breaking of the fruit stems.
To insure sufficient dryness of the at
mosphere the elevation of the forcing
house should be not less than fifty
degrees. Dry air around the plants
is essential to success, else the pollen
will not develop sufficiently for complete
| fertilization. In houses-where neither
