McCULLOUGH'S SONS, CINCINNATI, O. TOMATO. (Iviebesapfel, Ger.) One Ounce of Seed will produce about 1,500 Plants. Sow in a hot-bed greenhouse, or window in a sitting-room, where night temperature is not less than sixty degrees, about the first week in March, in drills five inches apart and half an inch deep. When the plants are about two inches high they should be set out in boxes three inches deep, four or five inches apart, in same temperature, or removed into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. They are sometimes transplanted a second time into larger pots, by which process the plants are rendered more sturdy and branching. About the middle of May, in this latitude, the plants may be set in the open ground. They are planted for early crops on light, sandy soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good shovelful of rotted manure has been mixed. On heavy toils, which are not suited for an early crop, they should be planted four feet apart. Water freely at the time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. 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 training the tomato vines on trellises, or tying to stakes, they will increase in productiveness, the fruit will ripen better, and be of finer quality. Early Minnesota. This fine new Tomato is the best and smoothest of any of the extra early sorts. It is 5 to 10 days ahead of the others, and for those who desire a real early Tomato, it is highly recommended. Color, bright red. The vine is strong and the fruits set close. Very productive. 5c pkt., 25coz., 75c 34 lb., $ Acme. One of the earliest
