JUST TO REMIND YOU 
not put on the counter and left to dry. They 
are kept in our storage basement and when 
you get them even a little late, they are still 
in good condition. This means a lot to the 
plant and more to the purchaser. 
-That for that troublesome terrace 
where the seed washes off before it germinates, 
we have a cover called Visinet. It is placed 
over the terrace, stretched tight and fastened 
with pegs. The young grass grows through 
Visinet and you need not remove it. Visinet 
may be used as a shade for seed beds; it cuts 
out about one fourth of the sun. 
-To get after chickweed. The plants 
lie flat on the ground and are light green. In 
fact, chickweed is in bloom now and the seed 
will ripen in April and May. A plant 
destroyed now will mean that hundreds of 
seeds will not develop and be scattered about 
your lawn and garden. Where there are only 
a few plants, they may be picked out. Where 
there are large patches of chickweed, use Iron 
Sulphate mixed with water and spray on the 
plants. It will not harm the grass. 
-To try some Matthiola Bicornis (Even¬ 
ing Scented Stock); this pretty little annual, 
growing about one foot high, is a very de¬ 
sirable border plant, delightfully fragrant, 
colored deep lilac. Sow seed late in February. 
The plants bloom over a long period and they 
are fine for cutting. 
-To check on your garden tools. Clean 
and sharpen hoes, spades, lawn mowers and 
put new washers in your sprayer. If you are 
in need of any new tools, come and see us. 
-That Hunnemannia Fumariaef olia or 
(Santa Barbara Poppy) to be grown in our 
climate, must be planted early to permit the 
plants to make their growth before hot, dry 
weather. The plants grow about IV2 feet high 
and form a shrubby bush. The flowers are 
produced freely throughout most of the season.. 
Color, golden yellow. Makes good cut flowers. 
Plants are free from disease or insects.
