One Ounce Produces up to 4,000 Plants, Sufficient to Plant an Acre if set 3x4 Feet. 
CULTURE—Sow the seed in 
March in a sunny window, in 
boxes or flats, using a light sandy 
soil. The seed germinates in 10 
to 12 days. When plants are 2 or 
3 inches high, transplant them 2 
inches apart each way, into other 
flats using the same kind of soil. 
In 3 weeks, transplant to small 
paper pots or 4-inch flower pots, 
to produce good stocky plants. 
Pot-grown plants will not suffer 
a set-back when planted out in 
the garden, as the roots need not 
be disturbed.

use ‘‘Boost'em’’ on Tomato 
Plants. See Page 76.
