INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
GROWING EARLIER AND 
LARGER TOMATOES 
How to Ripen 2 Weeks Early 
It is easy to grow larger tomatoes with fewer 
seeds that ripen two weeks earlier and produce a 
bigger crop by using BLOSSOM-SET. 
At least a 60° night temperature is required to 
make tomato blooms set much fruit and when the 
temperature gets as low as 50° they will not set 
at all. BLOSSOM-SET sprayed on the blooms when 
they first start to open will make them set at low 
temperatures and will, therefore, produce earlier 
and more fruit that will be practically seedless. 
This should be particularly interesting to growers 
in high altitudes and cool climates. BLOSSOM- 
SET really produces results and is well worth the 
little time required to apply. PRICES for BLOS- 
SOM SET: (4 oz. 75c) (pt. $1.75) (see page 39 for 
Blossom-Set Bomb and Agricultural concentrate).
