THURSDAY. AUGUST 17. 1950 Along Azalea Row By B. Miller Your reporter has been out, I and buzzing about—a B in the i gardens! An azalea to the J. C. Wrights for one of the finest vegetable! gardens in the vicinity. Arnold Toynbee, the gentleman w h o wrote “The Study of History”, would certainly approve of Mr. Wright! He would certainly rate him as one of our most advanced citizens for the ingenious way in which he has explointed his environment. What did he do? Well, on Mr. Wright’s field is a mound made by the bulldozer when the land was cleared. As is so often c ^s- tomary here, in clearing the land, a bulldozer takes the wild growth —top soil with it and scrapes it all into a mound where it is left. This is where clever Mr. Wright made his vegetable gar- den. Right on the mound, which by now has become a wonderfully fertile natural compost pile. Mr. Wright doesn’t carry the compost materials to his gar den. No indited! He just makes his whole vegetable garden on the compost pile! * * * Bill Crissey says that if you want to be sure your carrots will germinate in our dry August weather, dig the trench deeper than needed. Pour it full of watei and let it stand over night. Mean while soak the carrot seed in water over night and in the morn ing dry them on paper toweling. Then plant them the proper depth, with the fertilizer you prefer, cover with the mo’st soil and pat down with a layer of dry earth. Carrots, which do not germi nate well in dry weather, will grow with such a start ps this and produce well for the winter garden. Oleanders are growing in the Floyd Bolton garden and are ex pected to bloom this week. Look to your laurels Florida!

I know from this that others plant for me, And what they own, my joy may also be; So why be selfish, when so much that’s fine Is grown for you, upon a neigh bor’s vine?—Abraham Gruber 3RCOKINGS-H ARBOR PILOT.
