One Ounce of Seed will Sow 100 Yards. Ripening for Table 85 to 120 Days from Sowing, Accord- ing to Variety and Season. When the Apple is in bloom sow in hills three feet apart, on a warm border, early in the Spring. For a later supply sow a short time afterwards in a more open situation. As the plants advance in growth support them by brushwood. To have the Tomato very early it is necessary to start the plants in a hot-bed, or they may be reared in a flower-pot in a window and subsequently transplanted. Plants for an early crop should be raised under glass. For intermediate crop they may be raised on outside beds. For late crop the seed may be planted in permanent position when the Apple is in bloom. The average production of fruit, per acre on cultivated and fertilized land is about 14,000 pounds, or say 250 bushels per acre, though twice that quantity has often been grown. The Tomato vine is a rank feeder and especially needs nitrogen, otherwise known in one of its forms as ammonia. Stable manure is rich in ammonia. So is nitrate of soda, nitrate of potash and also that commercial fertilizer known as dried meat, dried blood, or chicken guano. For Tomatoes, which are soft wooded, ammonia is more desirable than potash or phosphoric acid, which are in their turn more valuable in the growth of hard-wood plants or of grains which make hard straw. Go for nitrogen or ammonia and we are sure you will be satisfied with the results.
