How to Train TOmatOe Vines.

For permanent use set six posts in
the ground securely. which is sufficient
to supply the needs of an ordinary
family. After frost is gone get your
plants nearly q foot long. dig hole,
place the plant in it, fill half full of
rich dirt, saturate well with water,
then hill up around the plant. Strip
a piece of leather, tack the vine on
each side to post, object being to run
to the top. 1t is taken for granted that
every gardener knows what the runner
is; two at a time will Just appear.
Clip them on as soon as to make their
appearance to the top of the post. Be
careful to distinguish from the fruit
bearing ones, as they must not be
disturbed. Keep turning and tacking
strips as the runners appear and you
will have one long stem, which will
run twelve feet bearing tomatoes to
the top and hanging over. There is
no comparison in the ones raised by
training and the old way. None are
lost by rot
