TOMATOES 
JUST SPRAY WITH HORMEX DURING BLOOMING! 
Here’s How You Do It: 
Spraying with hormones upon the blossoms of various 
plants not only stops premature blossom drop but also 
fortifies pollination, so that you get a better set of fruit 
or seed — a bigger yield! with TOMATOES, strong solutions 
will produce SEEDLESS fruit, often sweeter and more choice. 
Professional growers of tomatoes use mainly the Double 
and Concentrated strengths. (Incidentally, commercial tomato 
growers use more HormeX than all the other hormone sprays 
put together. It’s very economical on a commercial basis— 
the whole plant as well as the blossoms because this increases 
plant vigor. The same is true for beans, peas, sweet corn, 
alfalfa and other crops. 
To induce seedless tomatoes, peppers, etc., you spray only 
the blossoms or flower clusters.
