Discovery of hormones which stimulate root 
formation has made it easier to propagate plants 
from cuttings. These hormones in powder form 
may be applied to seeds, a pinch in the packet, 
well shaken, and they will speed up growth, as 
well as having a disinfectant effect.

Don’t let bugs or lice eat up either the flower or vegetable plants you have 
started. Spray with Black Leaf 40 for plant lice, and with Bordeaux Mixture for 
rust, blight or fungus. We have all kinds of sprayers and remedies. 
Tobacco 
Culture—The seed should be sown as early 
as possible after all danger of frosts is over. 
A good plan is to burn a quantity of rubbish 
and brush in the spring on the ground where 
the crop is to be grown, then dig and thor- 
oughly 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 
5 feet apart each way; cultivate thoroughly 
with plow and hoe.
