June 9 June 20 June 27 On 40 plants from clay pots 46 106 47 121 On 40 plants from paper pots 229 466 When set in the field May 16th, the root systems of the plants from the 4-lnch square paper pots were 4-inch cubes (64 cubic inches of soil and roots) and from the 4-inch clay pots -Uie K>o« systews contained 81 cubic inches of soil and roots (the amount that a 4-inch clay pot holds). The third count of blossoms was made June 27th, 42 days after the plants had been set in the field. The plaQts from the square paper pots were then more than twice as large and vigorous as those raised in clay pots. All plants raised in square paper pots are larger and more vigorous than those raised in clay pots, because they have about double root room for the same size pots. Measure the two pots and you will find that the 4-lnch square paper pot holds as much soil as two 4-inch clay pots. It is the same with square dirt bands, which are square paper pots without bottoms (the bottoms being furnished by old news- papera^apread on the bench). The" theory that it is only necessary to have a big lop to the plant has been proved misleading. Thera must be a big root system to push the to> or the plant will grow slow and small. Try some square paper pots or dirt bands w
