1950 Moon Phases and Positions 



Many gardeners like to govern their planting by the phases of 

 the moon. For them, we show here all the necessary information 

 generally shown by more voluminous arrangements. As seedsmen. 



we cannot vouch for the effectiveness of this method, but we are 

 glad to provide this complete and up-to-date chart for those who 

 want it. 



Signs of the Zodiac and Their 

 Influence 



T ARIES: Tends to dryness, barrenness. 

 Fairly good for cultivating, spraying and 

 weeding. 



b TAURUS: Fairly productive. A good 

 sign for planting root crops particularly 

 potatoes and bulbous plants. 



n GEMINI: Dry and barren. Not good 

 for any kind of planting or transplanting. 

 Kill noxious growths. 



£^ CANCER: Moist, very fruitful, most 

 productive of the Zodiac. Planting and 

 transplanting should yield good crops. 

 Irrigate, bud, graft, transplant. 



SI LEO: Most dry and barren sign. Use 

 only to kill weeds, destroy roots, etc. 



TTJ VIRGO: Moist but barren. Not rec- 

 ommended for planting or transplanting; 

 good for cultivating and destroying. 



1^ LIBRA: Fairly fruitful. Seed for hay, 

 corn, fodder, etc. Produces vigorous 

 pulp growth, reasonable amount of 

 grain. Good for flowers. 



TTt SCORPIO: Next to Cancer in pro- 

 ductiveness. Irrigate but do not dig po- 

 tatoes. 



t SAGITTARIUS: Generally considered 

 barren but used by many for onions, 

 seeding for hay, destroying weeds, etc. 



V3 CAPRICORN: Earthly, fairly produc- 

 tive. Similar to Taurus but drier. Bulb- 

 ous flowers, potatoes, tubers, root crops. 



^ AQUARIUS: Somewhat barren. Good 

 only for cultivation and extermination 

 of pests. 



^ PISCES: Similar to Cancer so use for 

 same purposes. Very productive. Do not 

 dig potatoes. 



When to Plant 



The tables at right show when the 

 moon enters each sign of the Zodiac, 

 It also shows the moon's changes. 



Under each month, we show first the 

 time at which the moon enters each 

 SIGN (day of the month and hour of 

 the day. Central Standard Time). Then 

 we show the moon CHANGES (day and 

 hour) for each month.
