From a summary of the report of exper-
iments made at the station in forcing
tomatoes, the following items are cleaned:
The tomato can be forced for winter
bearing to advantage, but it demands close
and constant attention. A tomato house
should be very light and warm, and the
roof should be at least tive feet above the
beds or benches. An abundance of sun
light is essential. The temperature should
be about so dogs. at night, and 20 dogs. to
so degs. during the day, or higher in full
sunshine. House tomatoes demand a rich
soil and a liberal supply of fertilizers.
Tomatoes like brisk bottom heat Eigh-
teen inch square boxes, placed about a
foot apart and containing four plants TO
the box, afford one of the neatest and best
means OF growing tomatoes. Winter
tomatoes must be trained. From one to
three stems, depending upon the distance
apart of the plants. are allowed to grow
from each plant. These are trained upon
perpendicular or ascending cords. The
plants must be pruned as fast as new
shoots appear The heaviest clusters
should be supported.
Water may be used more freely early in
the growth of the plant than later. Wet
the soil thoroughly at each watering,
rather than water often In midwinter
the flowers should be pollinated by hand.
This may be done by knocking the pollen
from the flowers when the atmosphere is
dry and catching it in a spoon or other re-
ceptacle, into which the stigma is thrust.

alton, also the purpose for which they are
grown, whether for market or home use.
For market purposes Crescent, Captain
Jack, Wilson and Manchester have
proven in many localities the most
satisfactory of the well-tested sorts.
Among the newer sorts Bubach, Pearl,
Haverland, Crawford, Warfeld, Jessie,
monmouth, Ohio, Daisy and Gaudy have
been found promising. 1t is best for those
who grow strawberries for market to test
number OF the leading sorts in a small way
and plant most largely of those best
adapted to their locality.
Following are extracts from Orchard and
Gardens report on the neN Strawberries
which are attracting special attention:
MS. Cleveland is truly democratic, and
Is so attractive as to at once arrest ones
attention among acres of Others. The
plant is simply perfection: the berries of
good size, form and color, and the variety
is decidedly prolific.
Iowa Beauty. so far as beauty, form and
color go, excels. In quality it equals its
good looks, and the plant is a good though
not strong grower and an abundant
yielder.
The Beebe is supposed to be Seeding
of Miners prolific. The plant is heavier
and stronger grower than the Miner and
resembles it only in the form of the leaf
and its freedom from disease, being in
variably clean, bright and beautiful Its
berries are unlike the Miner in color, be-
ing bright scarlet crimson, are uniformly
very large. produced in greater profusion
even than by its supposed parent. and
possess the same mild, rich, pleasant
flavor.
Lovett's Early is an improvement upon
both the Crescent and Wilson, from which
two varieties it has undoubtedly de-
scended.
For beauty, yield and mild, pleasant
flavor, it viii! be long while before SUI

Shuster's Gem for the home garden is a

Not only are these kept healthy with little
trouble, but their flowers are borne in
abundance, and as the old foliage remains
until the new growths are completed. the
plants always present handsome and
leafy appearance.
Lvcaste SkinnerIi is par excellence the
orchid for beginners, standing a dry at
mosphere better and remaining longer in
bloom than others. Other desirable species
in this genus are l.. Aronatica, L. Bar
rinetonie. L. Deppei. l.. Tricolor, and L.
Cruents. l.. Harrisonia, depicted in the
cut reproduced from American Garden,
differs in some respects from the preyi-
ously mentioned species. The illustra-
ton represents the finest variety Of it that
is known; il is named Eburnia. The How
ers are three inches across, with obIong
seuals: the petals are ivory white and
waxy in texture; the lip is large, the side
lobes being erect and the color primrose,
yellow and white.

How an Ohio Horticuiturist Keeps His

An Ohio horticulturist describes his man.
agement of blackberry plants in the Rural
New Yorker. He says:
My plan is to take good fence posts five
feet in length, set one at each end of row,
three and one-third feet in the ground, leav-
ing twenty inches above ground / use
No. IL galvanized wire and draw it as
tightly as possible. However long the
rows may be, post set firmly at each end
is sufficient. After the canes are tied TO
the wire they form perfect support,
and there are no stakes in the way of the
hoe. top my canes at three feet, just the
right height to DE handy for the pickers.
By running the wires twenty inches from
the ground they pass below the branches,
so that it is much more convenient to tie
them, and less Irvine is required, while the
tops are in better shape for picking.
remove the old canes as soon as the
fruit is off, and tie the new ones to the
wire TO prevent their being twisted of by
the wind. | am well aware that a
large number of fruit growers dispense

sharp edge; fasten handle of convenient
size and length at center of strip on the
upper edge and the device is complete.
Grasp the handle firmly, press the sharp
edge into the earth, and you have a
straight, even drill of uniform depth for
sowing. BY marking and cross marking,
as IN corn planting, you have even spacing
for pricking or transplanting. To mark
of the distance to next row you might
also put on runner at one side, fastened
to rod of iron passing through the marker,
as shown in lower figure. This runner
can be adjusted any distance and do per-
fect work. OF course handle aud marking
strips can be made any length from e few
inches to several feet Alter trying one

THE FORCING OF TOMATOES.

Professor Bailey Tells OF Promising
Enterprise for the Winter Months.
The pter forcing of tomatoes is little
understood by gardeners, yet it is pro-
nounced by good authority promising
industry for all the older parts of the
country, particularly the vicinity of
large cities. Professor l.. II. Bailey, in
recent bulletin of the Cornell univer-
sity station, says: In this latitude it re-
quires from four to five months TO bring
a forced tomato plant into bearing
Seeds which were sown the 9th of last
August gave plants lit for transplanting
early in September. These were planted
In permanent quarters in the tomato
house October l5 and the first fruits were
obtained December IS. They continued in
bearing until near the end of February,
when they were trained for a second crop.
