The Unique Floral 
Barometer 
If the leaves stand up¬ 
ward from the twig, the 
weather will be beautiful. 
If they stand out straight, 
changeable weather is ex¬ 
pected. As the leaves 
droop, the indications range 
toward rain, when the 
leaves hang straight down¬ 
ward, water may be ex¬ 
pected to fall in torrents. 
A local storm is indicated 
by the curling together of 
the leaves, and a fog by 
the bending of the twigs. 
Seeds are of good size and 
sometimes slow to germi¬ 
nate; should be soaked in 
lukewarm water before 
planting. Pkt., 10c; Yi oz.,

How to Transplant Annuals 
When the seedlings crowd each other it 
is time to transplant. Water soil about 
plants several hours before transplanting. 
Move the seedlings on a dull day, or if sun 
is shining, cover with newspaper or flower 
pot after replanting so that tops will not 
dry out. Shorten the tops and water well.
