NOTE: Sometimes seed with a high germination test fails to grow in the open ground when conditions are seemingly favorable. Some-' 
times certain plantings produce a healthy vigorous growth, yet do not bear fruit. You can work with nature better than against it. If you! 
have had crop failures or poor yields without an explainable reason try the MOON SIGN BOOK for 1949.
