PLANTING TIP: There are two definite scheols of 
thought among tomato-growers: the stakes and the 
non-stakes. Here is a compromise method which 
uses four stakes in a tepee effect. With this arrange- 
ment stakes do not need to be as long nor driven 
into the ground. 
bs 
PLANTING TIP: Thin young plants in the garden 
row so that they stand at the distance apart recom- 
mended on the seed packets. This is very important. 
Plants which overcrowd one another ruin each other’s 
chances of normal growth and are continuously 
fighting for their share of the earth’s plant food. 
See pages 34 and 35 for transplanting tips.
