Tomatoes. - now is a good time for sowing the main crop of this valuable vegetable, as plants raised thus early will give ripe fruits by the end of May, and with skilful handling will continue to give a steady supply until well into October. Of course, it must be made plain that it is only where a suitable temperature can be relied on that early sowing is recommended. A steady temperature of 60 to 65 is essential, for the Tomato in its earlier stages quickly resents cold. Sow thinly in pans of light soil, plunge in gentle bottom-heat, and in a few days germination will take place. As soon as through the soil, remove to a shelf close to the glass, and see that the soil is never allowed to become dry. Chrysanthemum Cuttings. - The bulk of the cuttings that are to produce plants for large blooms will by now have been secured, although a few varieties are best if propagated during January or February. For instance, Mrs. A. T. Miller and Mrs. E. Beckett always give the finest blooms on the early crown buds, and if these varieties are rooted too early the first buds are produced much too soon, and must be rubbed out, or else the bloom expands long before it is wanted.
