showing. He noticed that pracice of spe cializing
in a garden; he remembered one garden with about
100 feet square feet all in pinks.

Lucy wanted to know whether pinks were
successful here and Ulrich though they were;
Elizabeth Cabdy asked one about a solution of
clorox for iris. The answer You gave it right
