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 hotbed, 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 crops the seed may be planted in permanent posi- tion 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 18,000 or 20,000 pounds have been raised. Southern Florida Tomatoes reach Philadelphia in February, and command $4 to $6 per bushel. By April the rate de- clines to $3 toS5, and continues to decline till June, after which they fail to meet the cost of transportation. Forty to eighty cents per bushel is an average price, twenty-five to thirty-five cents per bushel for late crops. This crop ceases to be profitable to the trucker unless he can realize 16 cents per bushel. They are very often a drug in the market. Tomato canning houses buy the fruit by the ton at from $6 to $7. For seed purposes alone we have washed out over 40,000 bushels of lruit in a single season. EXTRA EARLY RICHMOND (ninety-day tomato).—The earli- est of Tomatoes. Fair size but not smooth.
