Just How Good 



your crop will be depends on how 

 well you care for the growing vines 

 as they become top heavy by the 

 weight of their fruit and foliage. 



A properly supported vine is cap- 

 able of bearing more and better to- 

 matoes ; the vine thus relieved throws 

 all of its growing strength into the 

 tomatoes themselves. 



We manufacture supports for all 

 kinds of growing plants.
