EVER -READY POT COVERS may not make the 

 plants, but you'll find them a great help in selling your plants 

 to your trade. It is like putting on your Sunday suit, when you 

 dress your plants in the Ever-Ready way. With these pot 

 covers the ugly clay pot is completely hidden, making the plant 

 far more attractive.

EARLY OUTDOOR TOMATOES. 



When is the right time to sow the 

 seed of Burpee's Sparks' Earliana to- 

 mato for an early crop in the spring? 

 The plants are to be put out in the field 

 after danger of frost is over, which in 

 this locality, in northern Maryland, 

 would be about the middle of May. I 

 intend to sow in paper pots, in a violet 

 house with a temperature of 45 degrees 

 at night. Should they get a little shade 

 when the sun becomes hot in the spring? 

 Will it be necessary to harden them in 

 a coldframe before planting them out? 

 Any information you can give me will 

 be greatly appreciated. E. A. P. 



Many gardeners like to plant their 

 early tomato seed March 1 and get 

 fine, large pot plants to put out May 

 15, but I find that they get too large 

 for 3-incli pots unless planted later, 

 and if too large and spindly they A) 

 not do as well as younger plants. If 

 you start them in the violet house, how- 

 ever, they will be so cool that they 

 will not grow much for some time. 



I should think you could plant them 

 outside by May 1 in your latitude. 

 They will not need to be hardened if 

 grown in a cool, well ventilated house, 

 but should be if grown in a warm house. 

 They need no shade at all. I would 

 advise the starting of two lots of seed, 

 80 that later you could use whichever 

 lot you find preferable. Start them 

 March 1 and 15. H. G.
