JULY-AUGUST, 1947 
The recent murder of a negro 
prisoner by a mob in South Carolina 
was a sad disgrace; but such as many 
‘states have had to endure. Satan 
finds his myrmydons among _ the 
emotionally unstable everywhere. 
But for a legally constituted jury to 
brazenly condone murder, if the vic- 
tim is one of a minority; and for a 
supposedly intelligent lawyer to 
claim that our grand doctrine of 
State’s Rights includes approval of 
such outrages, is a disgrace to that 
state and our whole nation. It low- 
ers us in the eyes of the watching 
world to a level withiNazism. By such 
action that jury and lawyer made 
themselves accessory after the fact 
and | hope the God of justice pun- 
ishes them as they deserve, both in 
this world and the next. 
In his book, ““One World,’ Wen- 
dell Wilkie states that one of the 
Siberian provinces in easy reach of 
salt water, is anxious to sell to the 
U. S. immense amount of newspaper 
pulpwood. Now why is it, if that is 
correct, that we common people 
must suffer from lack of paper. This 
issue of The Yellow Sheets and the 
previous one, are being delayed in 
mailing for lack of wrappers. 
Will the pen friend who wrote me 
of her garden experience in com- 
panion planting of Sweet Corn and 
Soy Beans, please write me again 
~ about it. Her letter accidentally was 
destroyed. 
Does anyone know why _nitro- 
phoska is not generally on the mar- 
ket? This is an important fertilizer. 
HARDY CACTI—10c EACH 
OPUNTIA VULGARE (Com- 
mon Prickly Pear) hardy, flower

soil 
lawn plant, hardy here to 15 below. 
OPUNTIA RAMOSSISSIMA, 
hardy and dwarf, good in full sun in 
THE YELLOW SHEETS 
il. 
OPUNTIA ROBUSTA, | stately. 
PAGE THREE 
rock gardens, also good as pot plant. 
An almost. spineless Opuntia 
found here in only one spot that | 
know of. May be Beaver Tail. 
Opuntia Cholla,.the dread Cholla 
of romance. Seems to be a good pot 
plant. 
Echinopsis Scheleh Asi (never 
heard of a common name for it). 
Hardy here but would not advise 
exposure in a colder climate. Good 
pot plant. Shade lovers. 
Christmas Fern, 2% ft. tall. 
Green through the winter with us, 
becoming shabby in the spring. 
Needs shade. Good for base plant- 
ings on north side of house. Very 
hardy, 10c. 
Ebony Spleenwort Fern, also 
green through winter, and unsightly 
in the spring. About 18 in. tall. Very 
hardy. Can stand more sun than the 
Christmas Fern, and often found 
growing in cracks of rocks and 
among roots of hardwood trees, 
1Qc. 
Blunt Lobed Woodsia Fern, often 
found growing with Ebony Spleen- 
wort and needs same _ conditions. 
Hardy in colder climates than this, 
10c. 
There are a few Lady Ferns here 
and if able to walk that far, can fur- 
nish them at 10c each. 
Bracken Fern, late in coming up. 
Hardy. The Indian women used the 
long roots in basket making. 10c. 
Blue Iris Cristata, makes a fine 
ground cover in shady spots. 5e. 
Amethyst colored Iris Cristata, 
more of a rock garden plant than 
the blue. I find it clambers over 
rocks, in deep shade. 5c. 
WOOD SORRELL (a native Ox- 
alis), another very early bloomer. 
Clover-like leaves decidedly red- 
dish. Makes a small bulb and trans- 
plants readily even when in bloom. 
Different colors, white, cream and 
pink. Dormant after blooming. The 
shredded leaves are nice in salads
