StOKESDAL E — Lik^ all other Tomatoes , . . must 



be fed, if you want size 



We suggest the following routine with all varieties, but 

 especially so with Stokesdale: 



Use a nutrient solution in the transplanting water. We 

 have seen some outstanding results from this practice in 1940. 

 Two to four pounds of the following mixture to 50 gallons of 

 water is recommended. 

 MIXTURE: 



4 parts by weight of Superphosphate /^P2057 



1 part by weight of Calnitro f20%N} 



1 part by weight of Nitrate of Potash {l3.5'^}^-46% KiO/ 

 Col. Sayre, of the Geneva, New York, Experiment Station, 

 recommends I4 pint per plant {91 gallons per acre/ of the 

 following: 2 parts Ammophos 1 part Nitrate of Potash 

 8 pounds in 50 gallons water 



This fertilizer being in solution will give the plants a quick 

 start and will not injure the roots. This mixture can be pro- 

 cured from your fertilizer dealer. 



If the transplanting solution is not used, a side dressing of 

 Nitrogen should be applied as soon as the plants are set. 



We also wish to emphasize the importance of lime for 

 Tomatoes on all soils where the pH is lower than 5.8 or 6.0. 

 Lime supplies calcium and magnesium which are very impor- 

 tant for Tomatoes and also makes other plant nutrients more 

 available. 



When side dressing late in the season, place the fertilizer 

 well away from the plants for best results.
