GOOD
GARDENING
Mint Bed.
If you're willing to spare a space
in your garden three by three feet
from vegetables, you can have a
mint bed that will provide ptentv
of leaves for flavoring drinks Ilk
fell .say Iced tea. Five or six
plants will be enough. Spearmint
ts more widely grown by amateur
than peppermint. First you plant
indoors and then transplant, after
what may be reasonably expected
to be the last frost In your area,
to the garden mint bed. The main
thing Is to make sure that the
plants don't blossom; when they
do they become tough. It's s good
idea to keep part of the bed shear
ed down while the mint la being
used from the other part, thui
providing a contlnuouu supply of
fresh tips. The seeds may bo
grown Indoors In a big flowerpot
before the transplanting period.

PROPER AGING
Tobacco in its natural state is harsh and strong.
Though "cured" by the grower before sale,
it is unsuited for use without further aging.
During this aging period (which ranges in
the case of Lucky Strike from l'j to 3 years)
important changes occur. These "Nature"
changes result in the partial "smoothing out"
of the original harsh qualities of the leaf.
Our process of manufacture carries these
improvements many steps further as
every Lucky Strike Cigarette exemplifies:
A Light Smoke of rich, ripe-bodied tobacco.
