Marvel of Peru

Mixed. An annual, easily grown

Height 2 feet. Pkg. 10c; oz. 30c 
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 one of the new D.D.T. sprays. 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 surprise you. 
Dust Lima Bean seed with 
Arasan before planting. It per- 
mits earlier planting for it 
protects them from decay and 
increases germination and 
yield.
