TO CONTROL “DAMPING OFF” 
‘Damping Off” is a microscopic fungus growth which attacks the baby plants 
just as they emerge from the ground or while they are still small, and is the 
reason for many failures which are blamed on the seed, especially where very 
small seeds are concerned. It may be overcome by treating the seed (We do this 
for you as an extra ‘‘Park Service’’), and sterilizing the soil. (Bake in the oven 
or pour boiling water thru it 24 hrs. prior to planting.) 
Where sterilizing is impractical, as with an outdoor bed or cold frame. spray the 
soil, just as the seedlings appear, with Semesan solution (1/3 oz. to gallon of 
water). We offer SEMESAN in 1/3 oz. Pkts, for 15c. This is enough to spray 
40 square feet of bed. ‘ 
IMPATIENS—Patience or Sultana

patiens are easily grown from seed and begin to bloom in about 3 months from 
sowing. The flowers are 114-2” in diam. with graceful eurving spurs, and dis- 
play colors of red, rose, pink, white and shades between.

About three years ago I planted a package of your Agapanthus (Blue Lily of the 
Nile). Now they are all blooming (four clumps) and three are blue, but one is
