Liebesapfel, GeR. TOMATO. Tomate, Fr. TotnuUs, Sp. "fOMATO For early plants sow in hotbeds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and £ inch deep ; when the plants are about 2 inches high, transplant, into another hotbed 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 apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed witli the soil. Water freely at time of transplanting ; when the first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in a shallow box or large flower-pot, by placing it in a sunny window in 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 training the vines on trellises or tying to stake, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality. New Dwarf Stone. (See page 8, also colored plate.)
