An excessive use of nitrate of soda is to be avoided because when used in large quantities it produces too much vine growth at the expense of fruit.

An excessive use of nitrate of soda is to be avoided because when used in large quantities it produces too much vine growth at the expense of fruit. And what nitrate of soda is used should be used as early after plants are set as pos- sible, because at that time there are less nitrates available from natural sources than would be the case later when nitrification is more Fig. 429.—Tomatoes Growing at Will, the General Practice Where Grown for Canning Cultivation must be done early and often and should be con- tinued as long as the vines will permit working between them.

For this purpose a little later variety is chosen, not because it is a little later in ripening but because by its being a little later in ripening it is a better tomato, smoother and larger, hence sells at a higher price. Among the many varieties chosen for this crop are Bonny Best, Dwarf Champion, Twentieth Century, Dwarf Stone, John Baar (new), and many Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New York Bureau of Farmers' Institutes.
