Mix your petunia seed with sand or corn 
meal, one package of seed plus one quart 
of sand or corn meal, and sow broadcast 
early in the spring, just as soon as the soil 
is warm, right where you want the plants 
to grow and bloom. Don’t cover the seed 
with soil; Nature will take care of that. 
Nasturtiums give best results when grown 
in poor soil and in full sun. If those little 
black bugs get on the plants, spray with 
Black Leaf 40 or with D-X Rotenone. A 
35c¢ bottle makes 3 to 5 gallons of spray 
material, and be sure to wet the under side 
of the foliage. 
Tomato plants are thirsty individuals; 
they require quantities of water to do their 
best. Sink a small can in which you have 
punched some holes, near the plant, and 
fill it often with water in which you have 
dissolved a small quantity of Hyponex, the 
soluble plant food. The results will sur- 
prise you. 
Dust lima bean seed with Arasan before 
planting. It permits earlier planting for it 
protects them from decay and increases 
germination and yield.
