Forecast somot.hing like this. " Fair and vrariTior with increasing cloudiness 
tonight or tonoirow,clearing late tomorrow. Light West to Southwest winds." 
V.hy are wo glad? UeCiuse it means that "inter is over and wo,liko bears 
and otherijhibornating anima-lc,will stretch our arms and logs,breathe deeply, 
and say, Isn’t this a lovely day,so sunry and wa.rin." 
Of course when this metamorphosis takes place,v/o iimaodiately start

as a matter of fact,been a good winter for plants.One which will enciburage 
all of to want to enlarge our gardens and borders ana generally improve

ones,being picked from the Garden Magazines such as House and Garden, 
i-morican HomL; -'.nd others. Of course thero are thosew'hich nearly evaryono
