F73. Also called Summer Cypress. The moss- 
like green foliage turns to deep carmine in

hedges. Pkt. 10c; ^ oz. 25c.

got my home work to do, goldern it.” 
First feller sez, “Whatcha mean, home work? 
You haln’t back in school account your second 
childhood creepln’ up on ye, is ye?” 
Second feller sez: “No, but thought I’d save 
money last spring by buying cheap grass seed 
for my lawn. Seems like I got a million weed 
seeds in it. Got shed of most all now but that 
tarnation plantin. It’s a dernsite wors’n dan¬ 
delion.”
