~ How to Succonds = 
Sow Little—But Often 
One of the most back breaking jobs in 
the garden is thinning out plants. Worst 
part of it is, the job just has to be done 
and the sooner the better. Just why so 
many of us sow too much seed, I’}l never 
know. But we do. Even do it myself. 
So here’s advice for all of us. Sow 
THINLY. Follow directions on the pack- 
et. A minute spent this spring will be 
an hour saved later. This way you save 
at least half your Seed, oftentimes more. 
Use this seed for succession sowings later 
in the season.
