it is advisable to sow in June for trans- 
planting in autumn and in late August for 
the early spring transplants. Sow seed in

growth. For planting out, these potted

1. Cultivate the area well before setting out 
plants. Arrange the planting with small stick 
before digging the holes and allow plenty of 
room for the plant’s growth. Water the hole 
thoroughly with a solution of Transplantone 
and then set the plant. 
2. When removing plants from flats and 
setting them into the prepared bed care should 
be given in not disturbing the roots any more 
than necessary. This sets the plant back and 
sometimes requires several weeks before 
growth is resumed. 
3. When the plant has been placed in the pre- 
pared hole scoop dirt around the base and firm 
it down well. Apply pressure steadily so as 
not to disturb the soil already around the 
roots, 
4. Water should be used generously when 
setting out plants. Adding a teaspoon full of 
Transplantone, a hormone material, to each 
gallon of water will help greatly in prevent- 
ing root shock amd stimulate early season 
growth. Bio-Gro Liquid fertilizer should be 
used several times for healthy plant growth.
