. HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
Correct Feeding Hastens Recovery From Transplanting

Ths value of feeding plants at time of transplanting is discussed in Farm Research. a quarterly bul- letin issued by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. in which 1t is stated:
 "At transplanting plants are low in minerals and shorn of most Of their root system. Consequently, the application of 6 correctly bal- anced, readily available nutrient so- luton rcvives and stimulates the plant, thus enabling 1t to withstand better the shock of transplanting and to become established quickly, and grow vigorously from the time 1t is transplanted."
 Gardeners should bear this in mind in transplanting young flowers and vegetable plants. and here is some information on method of feeding when transpianting:
 Vegetables: Where large plants such as cabbage and tomatoes are set out, mix a level tablespoonful of complete balanced plant food thoroughly with the soil In the b0t- tom of the hole before transplant ing. Then proceed as usual, being sure that the plants arc watered well.
 Every four to six weeks there- after feed at the rate of one heaping tcaspoonful of plant food per square foot of soil surface surrounding the plant. working lightly into the soil
 Flowers: For flowers. which are set much more closely in the bed. and are usually transplanted when
