Special Uses of Flower Seed—Page 40 
NOTE: Sometimes seed with a high germination test fails to grow in the open ground when conditions are seemingly favorable. Sometimes 
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 1951. Order your copy today. Price $1.10 postpaid.
