Feeding Tomatoes 
In order to produce fine, well flavored, firm tomatoes it is necessary that you 
feed your plants properly. Unbalanced soil will not produce good results. Heavily 
manured or rich soil requires additional phosphate and potash. Be sure to apply 
it for good results. Our plant food department will help you solve your problems.
