Por+ilo Prt+c You can greatly speed up the growth of seedling plants by using FERTILE 
reiTlie rois pots. They are made of pure plant food, pressed into pots; thus the 
young plant is nourished from the very beginning. When large enough to transplant just 
plant pot and all out in the garden. One grower has made affidavit that squash grown in 
FERTILE POTS yielded four times as much per acre as those grown the regular way. 
Flowers mature much more quickly, and bloom with better color and sturdiness. 
How TO USE FERTILE POTS. Use flats or boxes that will hold the desired 
number of FERTILE POTS. Place one inch of soil in the bottom of the flat, then 
place the FERTILE POTS close together on top of this soil. Fill pots and 
spaces in between with soil. Water the whole bed until soaking wet. Then 
place the seeds or small plants in the pots. Water twice a day because the pots 
are very dry and will absorb lots of water. The roots will grow into, and 
through the pots and thus obtain the plant food needed. When ready to plant 
outdoors, plant pot and all.
