planting Tomato Plants, Cab- 
bage, Cauliflower, Pepper, 
Eggplant, Sweet Potato and 
Tobacco Plants. (Not recom- 
mended for Strawberry 
Plants.) Each plant is set, 
watered and covered in one 
operation, without bruising 
or damaging the plants, 
without stooping or lame 
backs. Cuts labor to one-" 
third. Enables one man to set 
8,000 to 10,000 plants per 
_ day. The roots of each plant 
are put into the ground in a 
natural position, and firmly 
set by the absorption of wa- 
_ ter into the ground. This is ‘‘Nature’s Own Way.” 
_ Transplanting losses are reduced to the minimum. 
_ The tiny roots are sucked into the ground almost 
as though they grew there, and the plants take 
hold and start to grow at once, especially if 
 Boost’Em Plant Starter is used in the water reser- 
voir—the easiest way to apply starter solution.
