The two drawings on this page are reproduced through the courtesy 

 of McGraw, Hill & Co., New York City. The upper plate shows the root- 

 growth of a Tomato plant four weeks after transplanting. The lower plate 

 shows the same root eight weeks after transplanting. Although drawn to 

 different scale, the ruled lines in each represent 1 foot. The photograph in 

 the center is of a field of Master Marglobe four weeks after transplanting. 

 Therefore, each plant has a root system about equal to the cut at the top. The 

 bottom cut emphasizes two important points: 1. That there is a heavy root- 

 growth just under the surface. 2. That the Tomato plant goes down more 

 than 3 feet for part of its nourishment.
