For early plants sow in hot-beds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and i inch deep ; when the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant into another hot-bed 4 inches apart each way ; plant out in the open ground early in May, or as soon as danger from frost is over, 4 feet ajiart each way in hills", which should have a shovelful of \vell-rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water freely at time of transplanting; when the first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches lo obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in a shallow box or a large flower-pot, by ))lacing it in a sunny window of a warm room or kitchen. For late use, sow in a sheltered border in May, and set out the plants in July ; the green fruit can be picked off before frost and ripened under glass. By train- ing the Tomato vines on trellises or tying to stakes, they will increase in productiveness, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality.
