stemmed campanion to Pink

bell in Canada and named after 
her, has all the vigor, height and 
free flowering characteristics 
which made Pink Queen an all

or and light green stems are dis- 
tinct “breaks” which reproduce 
almost perfectly true.

MARJORAM PLANTED GERMAN WAY. 
Those growing Marjoram, especially for 
the market, should try the German method 
of setting about 6 plants within a radius of 
8-9 inches. 
It is a very desirable method because a 
group of plants will support each other, thug 
preventing the plants from falling into the 
dirt causing soiled leaves as is the case in 
single plant stands. 
If you shear your plants, it is easier done 
in the group planting. 
PLANT BEANS ON EDGE 
Try planting beans, especially the large 
seeded sorts, on edge with the eye down; seed 
80 planted will start growth in 4-6 days. Wat- 
ermeion and Squash seed are also best planted 
on edge with the eye down.
