Nothing could be more delicious wherrpiekech fresh and used in salads during the summer. A reason more home gardeners do not grow them is each plant requires such a lot of room. If you are one of those with a limited space for plant- ing, try Jones D. Copeland's method of growing tomatoes. Last year he had only six plants, but from them he harvested all the tomatoes he Could use and- had plenty left over to give to friends and neighbor. There was at least a bushel of tomatoes harvested from each plant, he estimates. HERE IS his method of growing tomatoes. He purchased plants from his local nurseryman. On the south side of the Jiouse; he dug out the soil and mixed equal amounts of the soil with sand, adding one tenth of the amount of compost and one tenth of well rotted manure. This soil mixture was -- placed in the planting bed. Mr. Jones set the tomato plants Tour- feet a part.- - Th is planting was accomplished the middle of May. A trellis was made of 2 by 2 boards with bamboo plant stakes fastened at intervals between the upright boards. The main stem of the tomato plant was tied to these supports with soft cord. The other branches were supported by the bamboo stakes as seen in the accompanying photograph. ' A - wmmm , , THE TOMATO plants were watered twice a week thoroughly and then cultivated after the watering. Mr. Copeland fertilized the plants once every three weeks with a liquid fertilizer. Even though he enjoyed an abundance of ripe tomatoes, there were lots of green ones remaining at the end of the growing season. These he wrapped in newspaper and stored in the basement. By this method the family had ripe tomatoes up to and including Thanksgiving day. Jones D. Copeland, 1448 E. 3045 South, shows the tomato plants he grew lost year. He harvested a bushel from each of six plants. A CDMPtht the weeder's guide Modern Landscaping designed to meet your quirements with . . .
