Ripening Tomatoes.

Tomatoes do not require son, but ripens best in warm, dark plaoes. A box suitable for storing tomatoes while they are in process of ripening may be fitted with sliding shelves and a snug door. The box may be large or small, with more or less shelves, aooording to the amount of (ruit raised. When filled, it should be let in a warm, moist place, and impacted from time to time, in order to remove any of the fruit that may have ripened, before there is possibility of decay, and consequent harm to the rest. The convenience of the sliding shelves is apparent here, as a whole sbelf-ful may be inspected at a glance by slipping out the shelf. Darkness is the important thing, and the closely fitting door at once secures that, leaving only the necessary moisture and warmth to be at tended to.
