THE YELLOW SHEETS 
plants can stand full sun even here, 
but the young ones should have more 
than half shade. The leaves that I 
have fixed for propagation usually rot 
if placed in the full sun; or if they 
make new plants at all, the young ones 
are little good. 
White Violets become dormant 
through the worst of summer, but are 
now putting up again. For a few 
weeks I can furnish them at 5c each. 
While a hardy plant, they are also 
good in pots. Mature ones bloom in 
- late winter if you can keep mice away 
from the tiny buds. I had to let the 
cat sleep in the room to get any bloom 
from mine. Mild freezing does not 
hurt them nor seriously delay bloom- 
ing, but severe weather will make 
them dormant. 
Have recently been asked how to 
make a young Chinese Temple (Kal- 
anchoe daigermontiana) branch. So 
far as | know, it won't. Grows straight 
up, leaves getting bigger and bigger, 
until they pull it over unless staked. 
Begins to branch and bloom the sec- 
ond winter, and, curiously, sometimes 
blooms from the main stem, near the 
ground. <A very nice winter bloomer.

able red. Pretty flowers on nice 
stems, color varies through pink to 
deep cream. Leaves finely minced, 
nice with Lettuce in salads. Then the 
whole plant goes to sleep until cold 
fall rains. Now mine are in full bloom 
again and no sign of leaves. Very 
hardy. Will not have any to sell until 
spring, about late February or early 
March. 

Was recently amazed to see, in a 
newspaper of considerable circulation, 
the positive statement that all busi- 
ness, including food and clothing, has 
made from 90 to over 500 per cent 
during the war. How on earth did 
they keep the Treasury boys from 
grabbing it under some tax pretext? 
Now that the politicians have come 
out brazenly with their plan for a gi- 
gantic WPA after this war, we can 
understand the harrassing and elimi- 
nation of small business. If business 
is allowed to prosper unfettered by 
politicians, there will be too many 
jobs for much of a WPA. And we 
know what a vote-getter the old one 
was, hence the determination to put 
one over on a big scale, over a thou- 
sand million dollars for a starter, no 
telling how much more in the future. 
Of course it will be buttered over with 
the smooth talk of super highways and 
elegant public buildings, but if you 
are a taxpayer, just figure how much 
you will have to hand over. With the 
public works they are planning and 
the Political Action Committee of the 
CIO, they can put anything over as 
legally as the Nazis did. Do you like 
the prospect? If not, then direct your 
Congressmen to protect business 
against low ceilings and other har- 
assments,
