Tho Tomato ami its Culture.
The following interesting article upon
this subjcot is written by J. Payue Lowo,
whoso address is found below :
How to Improve the Fruit.
Our experience has told us that this is
"tho way to do it :
1st. Plants Hhould bo rown in warm,
light, rich soil iVoin tho seeds of the
earliest ripened fruit having uiost, if not
all the valuable qualities mentioned.
-2id. They should be grown early.
"3rd. During no time of their growth
should they suffer from want of warmth,
snnshine, fresh air, and a soil in proper
mechanical and chemical condition for
their healthy growl h.
Germinating the Seeds in a Small Box.
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
Jiouso. In quite a small box all the
plants any family need may be grown.
A few plants well cared for will be worth
si great deal more than a largo number
ill-grown, such as we so often sec crowd
ed to suffocation and death in dealers' hot
beds. Such long, weakly things can have
no value. The little box, need be no
more than two foefc long, a foot wide and
a few inches deep, covered with glass to
counteract the dryness of the atmosphere
of the room. Put the box in tho sun
shine, keep the room warm and carefully
ventilated. Do not bo in too groat haste
to germinato the seeds ; but oneo started
pee that the plants get no check for want
of care.
When to Sow Seed for an Early Crop.
In the neighborhood of New York, the
seed may bo sown about the middle of
Tcbruary or beginning of March.
Transplanting.
When the plants arc two or throe inch
es high they may be put into small pots
to bo afterwards transplanted into larger
ones, or into a hot-bed. The transplant
ing of them at leant twice, or even three
or four times before putting them in the
open ground, which should not be done
till all appearance of frost has gone, un
less they arc protected when necessary,
will hasten early ripening. Each time,
before transplanting, the soil 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 tho open ground and thus their
growth will not bo 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 temperature 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 open
ground, may bo put into a cold frame, pro
tecting them at first as much as nr:y be
necessary.
If the above plan bo followed faithful
ly you will have an abundance of line
healthy plants, when everybody else is
scouring tho country for what is not al
ways to be found good tomato plants.
Open Ground Culture.
Once in tho open ground they will de
light and flourish in a rather light than
heavy, and rich, but not over -rich, soil,
and if on the southeastern exposure of a
hill-side, where they will bo protected
from the cold winds, and enjoy the sun
shine, all the better.
They should not bo less than four feet
apart. Keep the soil friable. Let no
weeds grow. IIoo early and often, and
they cannot take possession of the soil.
When to Sow Seed for a late Crop.
For a late crop the seed may bo sown
in the open ground in spring. When
planted in their place, they will bear till
the frost comes, and longer, if protected.
Pruning.
As the greater part of tho fruit on the
tomato vino is borne near the ground it
will be found that tho shortening of the
vines will cause nutrition to flow to fruit
instead of making branches. Don't bo
afraid to cut out all suckers and non-bearing
tranches, and to shorten, those that
wander. Tho writer kuows that the ad
vantages of pruning are questioned by
some, but )io ha learned by experience,
whatever may be the rationale of the
matter, tho results are in favor of rather
severe pruning.
1 'a r iet ics Th e JJett
A great deal might be said on varieties;
but alter having tried tho most popular
ones the writer grows " Lester's Perfect
ed Tomato," in preference to all others.
Though not one of tho newest varieties
claiming attention having been favora
bly known for some years but as many
mixed and up it r ion seeds leave been
grown and sold under this name, which
misrepresent t he fruit and the geiitlemau
who introduced it, tho writer has taken
some pains to secure tho genuine seed, as
will appear from the letter given below.
He grows " Lester's Perfected Tomato,"
first, because he thinks it the best, and
second, because ho farms for profit as well
as for pleasure.
Lifter's Perfected Tomato.
New York, 8? 3rd, Avenue,
July 21, 18(39.
J. Payne Lowe, Esq. : Dear Sir :
You know that, some ten years ago, after
long and careful culture, 1 brought out
with no thought of making money
what has since been so widely and favor
ably known as Lester's Perfected Tomato.
Dut I find that spumous and mixed
seeds have been everywhere sold under,
this name, thus wronging the public, and
misrepresenting the fruit and myself.
Last year I detenu ined to try to put a
stop to all this; and I again grew thegen
uinc fruit, germinating some seeds from
which you had this season all the plants
in full bearing when I visited your place
in New Jersey, two or three weeks ago.
I committed them to you because I knew
that they would have perfect culture.
In planting them wide apart you gave
them none too much room ; for the green
bronzed-colored vines had spread so far
and were so loaded down with fruit ! 1
was glad to see the old fruit again its
smooth and even form, thin skin, luscious
but delicate and finely-flavored flesh, and
its great beauty of color.
Now raise every seed and scatter them
as widely as you can, for from ymi alone,
am I sure that anybody will get my Per
fected Tomato.
Charge enough for them to pay for
tho trouble say 25 cents a paper and
put a few seeds only in each little package,
so that they may go as widely as possible.
Faithfully yours,
E. EDWARDS LESTElt.
This letter shows that pains have been
taken by the writer to grow what he con
siders tho best variety of tomato, and as
he feels that ho can sell many times the
quantity of seeds on hand, he has noth
ing to gain by endeavoring to give undue
prominence to the variety spoken of
Those, however, who may differ with him
on tho subject of varieties will, it is
hoped, not iind tho other portion of his
article unworthy of attention.

A. 'Cure for Diptheria!
All Interested, please read tho following extract
from a letter from Mrs. Kllen II. Mason, wife of
ltev. Francis Mason, Tounglioo, ISiriuah:
. . .My son was taken violently sick with dip
theria, cold chills, burning fever, and sore throat.
I counted, one morning, ten little veseicles in his
throat, very white, and his tongue toward th
root, looked like a watermelon full of seeds; the re
mainder coated as thick as a knife-blade. So many
children have died around here, I was afraid to
call a physician, and thought I would try your Pain
Killer for a gargle with small doses Inwardly. I
did sound found the gargle invariably cut oil' tho
veseicles. and he raised them up often covered with
blood. He was taken on Sunday: on Wednesday
his throat wuselearand his tongue rapidly clearing
oil'. I also used it us a liniment with castor oil and
hartshorn, for his neck. It seemed to me a won
derful cure, and 1 can but wish it could he known
to the many poor mothers In our land who are los
ing so many poor children by this dreadful disease.
J have found your Pain Killer line of the most
vaulahle medicines ever used In ISunnah. Once 1
was stung by a very large black scorpion ; the pain
w as indescribable. I immediately applied the Pain
Klller,(for I never travel without it,) again and
again, and in half an hour my foot was well.
Dr. Walton writes from Coshocton" Your Pail
Killer cures this new disease Dijitherlrt, or Hore
Throat that is so alarmingly prevalent here; and
it has not been known to fail In any instance when
used in time. This fact you should make. known to
the world." (It is used in this disease as a gargle
and lotion us well us a tonic and a stimulant.
In Halifax where this disease prevailed for so
many months in its most malignant form, the use
of lrry J) via ' l'ain Kilter" was invariably at
tended with the most favorable results, when it was
used ere the disease had made too much progress
to preclude the use of so powerful a stimulant.
