Grow Plenty of Tomatoes 



SUNFLOWER 



MAMMOTH RUSSIAN Giant sized heads, 12 to 20 inches in diameter, are ordinarily borne by this variety, and 1000 pounds 

 of seed to the acre is not an unusual crop. The seed is of very good quality for poultry feeding. Soil and cultural 

 requirements are like those of com.

Seed should be sown as early as possible after danger of frost is past. In the spring burn a quantity of brush and rubbish on 

 the ground intended for the seed bed; then dig and pulverize the earth and mix with the ashes, after which the seed may be 

 sown and covered very lightly. When the plants are about 6 inches high, transplant into rows, 4 or 43-^ feet apart each way. 

 Cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.

TOMATO 



Ever3'one should reserve a part of the garden for tomatoes so that the family can have a fresh supply during a long season. 

 No other cultivated plant bears so long and so productively, and no other fruit carries greater health-bringing elements. At 

 our Experimental Gardens near Detroit, tomato seed is usually planted indoors about Alay 1st. We use shallow boxes or "fiats" 

 and plant in rows about 2 inches apart. As soon as the seedlings are about an inch tall, they are "pricked out" into a larger box and 

 spaced about 4 inches apart. Rich loose soil should be used. When the weather has moderated, the plants should graduallj^ be 

 hardened off to the temperature outside. This can be done in a warm sheltered spot where they can be protected at night and 

 in case of frost. About 6 weeks after seed is sowm, the plants are ready for their permanent location. By taking note of 

 the probable date of the last killing frost in spring in his o-mi localitj', every gardener can determine approximately the best 

 time for transplanting to his garden. See page 4.
