Tomatoes For the Cannery.s
Raising tomatoes for the ezassfsssssssssssss'

Growing tomatoes for cannery diff

In the former case. first of all. 4 large
yield is sought Early maturity 3 OF

tracts to sell the whole crop ut a fixed
price. 1t is said that good corn land
Is rich enough for tomatoes. although

Splendid results fohow fan or winter

plowed as early in the spring as pos

earth mulching, that is, maintain d
thin layer of fine earth on the surface
BY shallow cultivation. which will be
OF great value in saving the moisture
The variety should be such as the
canneries prefer. They win generally
provide the plants at nominal price
to those who grow tomat for them
In case it is preferred 10 grow the
plants near where they are to be set.
they should be started in a cold frame
or ON the south sid of board fence
in rich warm SOIL The plants will
increase TO proper size in four or five
weeks. ana should be set out in the

The tomato plant is a gross feeder,
and especially requires an abundant

New Jersey, who Is authority on such

On many Of our clay sands phosphoric
