Surround Yourself with Beauty 



Enjoy the beauty of lovely flowers and at the same time get that relaxation of mind and 

 body that working in a flower garden gives you. It's an easy way to keep up your 

 morale and get away a little while each day from the cares of a troubled world. Try it 1 

 You'll be glad that you did. 



Plan your Flower Garden to give you colorful, fragrant blooms the full length of the 

 season. Planting early and later varieties in the same area will help accomplish this. 

 Have some Annuals and some Perennials. If you have been missing the pleasure of 

 Flower gardening, start this Spring. It's lots of fun !
