PLANTING OUT TOMATOES
Outdoor tomatoes, provided they have been hardened off, may now be safely planted out. A wall-backed bed is particularly suitable, for the bricks become warmed by the sun, and at night they radiate the warmth to the plants. Particularly rich soil is not necessary. The plants should be spaced out not less than 15 inches apart. Each plant should be sunk in a saucer-like depression, so as to enable any water or liquid manure that may be applied to find its way directly to the roots. The soil should be made firm, and the stems secured at. once to supports. It will be necessary to pay continuous attention to the removal of all side shoots, for these are produced very rapidly after planting out.
