An Army Nurse Administers Blood to a Wounded Man "Starter” Solution Aids Transplanting Success Victory gardeners are likely to have more success with their to­ matoes, cabbage, lettuce, peppers and other transplants if they use a “starter” or “booster” solution when transplanting, according to County Agent Geo. Nelson. This “starter” solution, which in plain words is just liquid fer­ tiliser, is made by mixing one tablespoonful of victory garden fertilizer in one gallon of water. Sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda or ammoniated phosphate may be substituted for victory garden fertilizer. Exact measure­ ment is strongly recommended. Mr. Nelson cautions against using more than one tablespoon­ full to a gallon of water since plants may be injured or killed by a stronger mixture. The so­ lution of one tablespoonful of fertilizer to a gallon of water is effective and safe if the solution is kept well mixed up during ap­ plication. Plants given a “starter” solu­ tion usually will start growing immediately without an apparent setback from transplanting. This treatment is especially valuable for tomato plants. About a pint of liquid fertiliz­ er poured about each plant when it id set out in the garden is recommended. The treatments may be repeated in 10 days with good results if the solution is not made stronger than recom­ mended. These liquid fertilizers are valuable in the home garden all through the season also for keep­ ing leafy plants such as lettuce, cabbage and chard growing.
