perfect drainage when it comes to cactus. 
MUST HAVE Poor to medium rich soil when it comes 
to Amaranthus. Godetias and Clarkias must have poor soil 
and kept thirsty, Blue Lace Flower must have some sand and 
a little of peat does it much good. Gypsophyla must have 
sunlight, never any shade, etc. There are many must haves, 
all are mentioned in cultural directions referring to each 
flower group. It is important to pay attention to these di- 
rections to avoid disappointment. 
@ There are few plants more profit- 
is O g e ti an able to grow for spring sales than 
Godetia. Start in January-Feb- 
ruary and you will have blooming plants that will be greatly 
admired in April and May. The plants will find buyers very 
fast. Grow Godetia in POOR soil, say one part of rich soil 
and 3 parts of sand or sifted ashes and water VERY spar- 
ingly. That is the secret of success. Sown in April Godetias 
bloom from June to September. Try Godetias, if you will be 
not struck with its beauty, it will be past our understanding. 
Godetias are excellent cut flowers, pot plants and planted 
outdoors in sandy or gritty soil in a large bed will attract 
much attention.
