Enemies Of the Tomato

Blossom End Rot-A decay of the

particularly with the water supply.
To prevent it try to make the soil

which are not susceptible to this dis
ease. By planting these varieties the
disease may be abated.

lasses. This will be enough to treat
four or five acres. Be sure and place
