WARDS VEGETABLE PLANTS 
Texas Field Grown...Give you Big Early Yields 
READ THESE FACTS 
If you want earlier fresh vege- 
tables plant Wards Texas field- 
grown vegetable plants. These 
healthy, sturdy plants are insect 
free, disease free, and are sure 
to give you the utmost satisfac- 
tion in the way of a good crop 
of high quality vegetables. 
You'll find them much more 
satisfactory than greenhouse 
grown plants because Wards 
field-grown plants have been 
grown under natural conditions 
—out in full sun and rain—with 
plenty of room to develop big 
roots. They're weather hard- 
ened—sturdy plants that stand 
transplanting and are able to 
withstand the rigors of an early 
northern planting. Plants such 
as these have produced up to 
25% larger crops than northern 
grown plants, often mature 2 
weeks earlier.

BUY WARDS TOMATO PLANTS—GET EARLIER CROP

Tomatoes are especially easy to grow with Wards Texas field- 
grown plants. Their big, sturdy root systems are ready to send 
forth strong productive plants in any ordinary soil. 
Plant 4 feet apart if vines are to be allowed to sprawl, 2% feet
