Surround Yourself with Beauty-GROW FLOWERS 



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! 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!
