SOIL _ FOR TOMATOES: SELF- UPPORTING VARIETIES. W. J. Orange, asks, “What soil sults tomatoes? Is there any self-sup- borting variety? Is it advisable to pinch back young plants? Tomatoes are not particular as to soil, so long as it is well drained, and in sunny position, Even if the soil is quite poor by mixing poultry manure and ashes or ground vone and tankage in each “hill,” before setting out the plants, a good crop may tained, While it is neces- sary take up,” or use a special tomato support for most varieties, if one wants to get the earliest and best fruit, and economize on ce, there are few sorts which make a compact and sturdy growth, and do well without supports,—though in a very small garden even these will take up less spac if “tied up. Dwart Stone and Dwarf Giant (Dwarf Ponderosa) are the best of these. The old Dwarf Champion is still largely grown just because It makes a good looking plant to sell. It is not advisable to pinch back | Young plants in the sense of plich- ing out the main stalk, as is done with some plants to secure a more stocky growth, or when transplunt- When they begin to make a strong growth the garden, side shoots or “suckers” should be pinched out, as the plants are trained to stake or trelils, If the plants are too tall when ready to set out, dig a long hole, and’ bury the lower half of the stalk, turning It up at right angles two or three joints below the first cluster of buds; the stem will send out roots for ita entire length where it is covered with soll. GARDENS SHADED BY FENCES —W. H. L, Brooklyn, N. ¥.: “Our zarden {s inclosed by a six-foot fenca; some parts of it are shaded during half the day, Which is best, the part hat gets the afternoon sun or that in the which gets the morning sun? How should the various vegetables be placed?” As @ general rule, the salad or teat plants, such as lettuce, spinach, ‘c., and the root crops, such as onions and beets, should be given the shader Positions; for salad plants, a tittle shade in summer is very desirable The vine crops, such as cucumbers and melons and dwarf and pole beans, itke all the direct sun they can get. It makes little difference whether planis get morning or afternoon sun; the number of hours they receive ft is of more importance. Where there is plenty of light and air and good soil, most vegetables will get along /> well with very little direct sunshine. SEEDLING PLANTS THAT FAIL TO SUCCEED—K. M. W., Spring- dule, Conn, wri “lL planted cab- bage, tomatoes, lettuce, &c., in flats, which I kept in a sunny’ windo: they came up very delicate, and du ing all this time have hardly grown at all, but seem to be all stems, Kindly tell me what the trouble was, so [ can be more successful with my next planting.” Tall, epindling plants that do not make satisfactory growth are us- ually due first of all to lack of su’ cient sunlight.

O'F., Bay Ridge, Brooklyn: “What is ‘humus’? Is {t necessary for the garden? Is bone-meal a good fertil- izer?” | “Humus” ts the name given to de-| {9 caying vegetable matter in the soll, no matter what source {t comes from. If you dig under a thick sod or turf | for your garden plot, or add stable manure and fork it into the soil, it will gradually decay and disintegrate and become part of the soil. It is then called “humus.” The “humus” whieh is ‘old at veeg stores and by fer- tillzer companies is decayed vege- table matter obtained from n deposits, such as the bottom dried up lake or a drained off s: It is easy to use and will give di results the first season. Bone meal {s an excellent fertilizer. The fine ground bone gives quicker results than the coarse ground, but does not last as long in the soll. The different grades of bone vary in the |p amount of nitrogen and phosphoric acid they contain.

LBERT REISS, an old favorite A in the Metropolitan Opera Com pany, some time last season conceived the tdea of producing in English two lttle Mozartean comic operas. He got David Bispham to associate with him and, with the help of Mabel Garrison and Lucy Gages. the first presentation was so success- ful that several extra performances had to be given, to the delight of large audiences, Mr, Reiss, seeing ons and dreaming dreams that bid ir to establish a home for operas too Igbt and intimate for the husse Metropolitan Opera House, formed ¢ Society of Amertean Singers, of which he is general manager and Herbert Witherspoon is President, t produce such works At the Lyceum Theatre last night ,the society started a two weeks’ season, introducing for the first time in America two old-f foned compositions of this type, “The Maid Mistress” (La Serva Padrona), in two acts, by Pergolesi, and “'T Night Bell” (11 Campanello), in one act, by Donizett!, The titles in Eng lish are given first because the little operas were sung in English by an all-American company.
