YOU CAN’T BEAT HOME GROWN TOMATOES FOR FLAVOR 
19 
TOMATOES 
of All Types 
Tomatoes should be started indoors and those unable to do 
this should purchase plants. The plants may be set in the 
garden when danger of frost is over. It is important to give 
them a quick start after transplanting by frequent watering 
and fertilizing. They should be sprayed with bordeaux mix¬ 
ture to prevent disease, Rotecide non-poison. Hot sun is 
needed to ripen tomatoes and plenty of water to keep them 
growing. If trained to stakes or trellises they will ripen 
sooner.

1 ounce.
