If you want to PLANT BY THE MOON 
There is quite a lot of discussion about the 
effect of the moon on various crops. While 
we make no attempt to take one side or 
the other on this question, we are giving 
all the necessary information in condensed 
form. Naturally, we can’t vouch for the 
effectiveness of this method of planting. We 
are simply submitting the up-to-date charts, 
etc., for gardeners who observe the phases 
of the moon when planting.
