CULTURE.âFor first early Tomatoes select varieties of the earliest types, and start the plants under glass during February. Whec plants are 2 inches high, transplant into flats, thumb pots or plant boxes, and later on transplant again, giving more room. Never crowd the plants, but keep them short and stocky. Plants already in bloom or with fruit set, if in wooden plant boxes or in pots, may be transplanted to open ground without disturbing their roots, and will continue to bloom and fruit without check. Set these sorts 4 feet apart each way in warm, mellow soil of fair fertility as soon as danger from belated frosts is past. For main crop, the plants can be started somewhat later, in hotbed or cold frame, once transplanted to keep them stocky, and then set in open ground in fairly good warm soil, 5 feet apart each way. A very ornamental show can be made in the home garden by training tomate plants to stakes, poles or trellis. Applications of superphosphate, or of some good complete (vegetable) fertilizer often have a verv happy effect on Tomatoes in hastening maturity and increasing the yield. Early Detroit.
