with soil, to prevent a hard surface. When plants are 2 or 3 inches high, transplant them to other flats. 
In May, set them out in rows 3 feet apart, 6 inches apart in the rows.

and do not work at it while wet. Celery may also be 
rows. For winter use, store in a cool cellar.

MASTERS RAPID PLANT SETTER 
The only practical tool for transplanting all kinds of 
plants—Tomatoes, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Pepper, Egg 
Plant, Strawberries, etc. 
Each plant is set, watered and covered in one opera¬ 
tion, without any stooping or lame backs. Cuts labor to 
One-third. With the Masters Rapid Plant Setter, one 
man will set 8,000 to 15,000 plants per day—this is 
more than three men can do by hand. 
Does Perfect Work. 
The roots of each plant are put into the ground in a 
natural position and firmly set by the absorption of the 
water into the ground. This is “Nature’s Own Way.’’ 
Transplanting losses are reduced to the minimum. The 
tiny roots are sucked into the ground almost as though 
they grew there and the plant takes hold and starts to 
grow at once. 
Don’t Wait for Showers. 
You can set your plants just when you are ready with 
the Masters Rapid Plant Setter and you will have a full 
stand of plants without fail. Works equally successful 
on hillsides, among stumps and uneven ground. 
Thousands are in use—they are guaranteed to satisfy 
you fully or money back. This Setter will pay for itself 
within the first week of use. Price: $5.85, f.'o. b. Fari- Masters
