PLANTING BY THE MOON 
Many gardeners like to govern their plant- 
ing by the phases of the moon. For these 
gardeners, we show here all the necessary 
information. The chart is COMPLETE, giv- 
ing you ALL THE DATA generally shown 
by more voluminous arrangements. 
As seedsmen, we cannot vouch for the ef- 
fectiveness of this method. However, we are 
glad to provide the up-to-date chart for 
those who want it.

When to Plant 
The table at the right shows 
when the moon enters each 
sign of the Zodiac. It also 
‘shows the moon’s changes. 
Under each month, we show 
first the time at which the 
moon enters each SIGN (day 
of the month and hour of the” 
day, Central Standard Time). 
Then we show the moon 
CHANGES (day and hour) 
for each month.
