TOMATO. French, Tomate; German, Leibsapfel; Spanish, Tomate. Marked improvement has recently been made in the Tomato. Its value as a table vegetable can hardly be overestimated. Its heathfulness during the heat of summer, and especially for bilious temperaments, is well known, and a diet composed largely of Tomatoes, both raw and cooked, is a powerful aid in warding off the effects of malaria. The first step toward success, after obtain- ing good seed, is to produce strong, healthy plants. For early crop, sow as soon as desired in hotbeds. When two inches high transplant in the beds to four or five inches apart each way, to give the plants room, and make them bushy; always keeping them well aired. If they crowd each other before time to transplant, root prune by drawing a sharp knife deeply between the plants. When danger of frost is past, transplant to rich, loose soil, keeping well watered and cultivated. For later crop sow in cold frames or open ground, and transplant when four to six inches high. If possible, support the vines. Thus treated, they will continue in bearing much longer, and the fruit will be greatly improved. ATLANTIC PRIZE, EXTRA EARLY.—A distinctly early variety, of good size and smooth surface. Many of the objections to the usual early kinds, such as under size, deep corrugations, and rough skin, are overcome in the Atlantic Prize.
