APRIL: FOURTH WEEK 107 



past. Keep well protected from potato bugs. Give plenty 

 of rich compost in the hills. 



Okra. Start under glass; or plant in rich soil in hills and 

 thin to a single plant. 



Peppers. Do not plant until thoroughly warm weather 

 is established and then put them in the sunniest position 

 available. Enrich the hills well, but avoid green manure. 

 Early varieties are the safest in northern sections. 



Tomatoes. Get your plants as big and as strong as 

 possible by shifting to paper pots during the last three 

 weeks before setting out, so that they may have blossoms 

 or even small fruits before they go into the garden. As 

 soon as they are set out, stake them to prevent whipping by 

 the wind. Keep trained up from the beginning and cut 

 off most of the side suckers as soon as they form.
