This fruit; long known as "the love apple," and maid to have come from the far south, . has rapidly gained favor wherever, grown. It is susceptiblw ,of great improvement, though it has gen erally received lees attention than Most garden vegetables. While under care ful culture they have betin long In reaching their present state, the tomato has been a comparatively abort time under culture, and yet, nature has done. so much for it that it already holds high rank among our finest fruits of the garden. Many *idlest men claim for it valuable hygienic wattles, and the human systo3l--that most perfect of all laboratories--has confirmed the deci sion. It is delicately acid, cooling and healthfuL In hqt weather our chil dren seise the golden "love apples" and quench their thirst, while we all use them at our tables. Since this fruit must be brought to perfection, why grow coarse, unsight ly,' spongy, ill-flavored tomatoes, when by attending toga few simple, but im portant things, the finest qualities may be had? IMPORTANCE OF SAVING SEED FROM EARLY FRUIT. Ttie temptation of growers for mar ket, to sell the earliest at a large price is so great, that little seed is saved ex cept from those maturing later ; doubt less under the impression that the seed• is just as good. But this is a great mistake. The heed from the fruit which ripens earliest any season will be the earliest and best the next year. There is no doubt that the tomato hers been vastly improved by careful cut : ture-(ind can be still further) in the desirable qualities of earliness, produc tiveness, sise, solidity, fe*ness of seeds, beauty of form, thinness of ifkin, deli caCy of flavor and richness of color. HOW TO IMPROVE THE FRUIT. - Our experience has told us that this is the way to do.it : let. Plants should be grown in warm, light, rich soil from the seeds of the earliest ripened fruit, having most, If not all, the valuable qualities mention ed. 2d. They should be grown early. M. During no tima of their growth should they stiff& from want of warmth, sunshine, fresh air, and a soil in proper m e chanical and chemical condition for their healthy sirowth. CIERNINATING WE SECEDE IN A LITTLE For family use; (and it is especially with this view we write,) the plants may be started in a little box in a warm room ; and for field culture in a, hot-bed or green house. In quite a small box all the plants any family need may be grown. A few plants well cared for will be worth a great deal more than a large number of ill grown, such as we so often see crowd ed to suffocation and death In dealers' hot-beds. Such long,' weakly things can have no value. The 'lit* box need be no more than two feet long, a foot wide and a few inches deep, cov ered with glass to counteract the dry ness of the atmosphere of the room. Put the box in the sunshine, keep the room warm and carefully ventilated. Do not be in too great haste to germi nate the seeds; but once started bee that thcrplants get no check from want of care: • -- WHEN TO SOW BEER FOR AN EARLY CROP. In the neighborhood of New York, the seed may be sown slant the mid dle of February or beginning of March. TRANSPLANTING. When the plants are two or three inches high they may beputinio small pots to be afterwards transplanted into larger ones, or into a hot-bed. The transplanting of them at least twice, or even three or four times before put ting.thern in the open ground, (which should not be done till all alipearanee of frost has gone, unless they are pro tected when neoessary,) will beaten early ripening. Each time, before transplanting, the sell should be well watered so that a ball of earth may be removed with each plant, and this Is particularly desirable when they are being put In the open ground and thus their growth Will not be checked. During all this time let them have all the light and fresh air that they can stand ; use mild days, but beware of cold and frost. A uniform warm tem perature is desirable, but not so hot as to make the plants grow too tall and sickly. If convenient, the plants, some time before being set in the open ground, may be put into a cold frame, protecting them at first as much as may be necessary. If the above plan be followed faith folk" you Will have an abundant* of fine healthy plants, when everybody she is soouring the country for what is not always to be found—good tomato plants. O? 11N GOURD Once in the open ground they will delight and flourish In a rather light than heavy, and rich, but not overicb, soil, and if on the south-eastern expos ure of a hill side, where they will be protected from the cold winds, and en joy the sunshine, ail the better. They should not be less than four feet apart. Keep the soil friable. Let no weeds grow. Hoe early and often, and they cannot take possession of the soil. WHEN TO SOW SEED FOE ♦ LAT' CROP FM a late crop the seed may be sown In the open ground in the spring. When planted in their Owe, they will bear till the best coma, and longer if protected. PRIINII 4 IO. As the greater part of• the fruit on the, tomato vine is borne near the ground it will be found that the short ening of the .vines will cause nutrition to flow to fruit instead of making bautehes. Don't be afraid to cut out all makers and non-bearing branches, and to aboaterk those that wander.
