is one of the secrets of dodging old age."
Perhaps this is the very receipt so
many of our Horticultural members
have used in dodging old age.

Mrs. Massey told us in her selected
article that June was the month
of promise.

"It is the month when the most
modest gardener is apt to become something
of a braggart.

It must be remembered that the same
food and moisture that nourishes our vegetables
+ flowers is meat + drink for the outlaws in their midst" _ so they must be fought vigorously. "The weed
situation is serious + must rigorously
be dealt with by every earnest gardner.
Out of June weeding, comes July peace, + August plenty."

The Forethought this month, it seems,
preferred "sitting listlessly + dreaming
life away" _ but with problems like
gardening with little or no farm labor,
she decided best to let dreaming alone.
When melons did not come up, she told
us it it not too late to replant even
til the 26th of the month.
