Seed may be sown directly from the packet, 
or by rubbing a pinch of seed between the 
thumb and index finger. This latter method 
gives a thinner distribution of the seed. Small 
seeds should not be thicker than 10 to the 
inch. Sow one row at a time and after each 
row, cover the seed lightly, touching the loose 
soil with a rake. Place the board used for 
walking between the rows on top of the sown 
seed and walk across it to firm the soil for 
better germination. 
Treatment of the seed with ‘’Cuprocide”’ 
will eliminate a great deal of damping off, 
and rotting of the seed after sowing, especially 
if sown during the wet weather.

If the soil is moist, but not wet, at the time 
of sowing, watering will not be necessary 
before the seedlings are up. If it dries out 
out, however, sprinkle carefully so as not to 
wash out the small seedlings. 
WATERING IS IMPORTANT 
Watering will be necessary during the grow- 
ing season. It should be done early in the 
day. Water generously, soaking the soil deeply 
each time, rather than by quick ‘sprinkles’ 
with the hose. In this way, the roots will 
grow deep, feed better and be protected from 
drouth, in case watering is missed during a 
hot dry spell.

FEED YOUR GARDEN 
If Your Garden Is to Feed You 
Fertilizers are very important. The food 
value of garden vegetables for human con- 
sumption depends greatly on their mineral 
content, derived from the soil. The vitamin 
content depends on the vigor of growth and 
the abundance of sunlight. Therefore, the fer- 
tilizing of the soil is important to insure vig- 
orous growth and healthy mineral and vita- 
min-rich vegetables. A good practice is to 
spade commercial fertilizer, balanced to sup- 
ply the necessary proportions of nitrogen, 
phosphorous and potash into the soil before 
planting, in addition to the humus (manure, 
peat, compost, etc.) and phosphate and other 
fertilizers put into the soil at the time of prep- 
aration. They are deeper down and can be 
reached by the plants as they grow. Later in 
the season, when the seedlings are estab- 
lished, applications of fertilizers in small 
doses, as side dressers, keep vegetables in 
active growth. Ask us for special fertilizer 
formulas for vegetable gardens. 
SPRAY AND DUST FOR PESTS 
Insects and diseases may infest the vege- 
table garden but will never become a serious 
problem if one watches for evidence of dam- 
age and takes prompt action. Sprays and 
dusts are available in convenient packages 
to combat every garden pest. When spraying 
cover all parts of the plant and both sides of 
the leaves. Do a thorough job promptly and 
avoid a serious infestation.

Multiply distance in feet between rows by distance plants are apart in rows, and product will be number of square feet for each plant or hill; 
which divided into number of square feet (43,560), will give number of plants to the acre.
