NOTE

For many years the question has been much discussed as to the value, to Hearticulturists, of Moonlight as a plant food.

From our own experiments we have found it of the greatest help and a decided stimulant to the Engagement Vines; the Proposal Plant invariably, although seemingly on the point of bursting into flower, defers its blossoming until a moonlight night; while our Hammock Vines have lost half their sweetness when Moonlight has not been supplied them. On the other hand, our Porch Climbers have not done so well with Moonlight.

TIDES

Their are two kinds of Tides, the Tied and the Untied. Most of the Tied would rather be Untied and all of the Untied want to be Tied—and they will. (This is life.)

All through the Spring months the Untied will be very active, in fact, until the full of the late June Moon, known as the “Honeymoon,” after which time a tremendous increase may be noticed in the Tieds. This is often spoken of as “the Swell of the Tied.”

Through the summer months the Tieds will run smoothly (often because they are far apart).

With Fall, however, many Tieds will be again united and it will be cold and squally and there will be very large bill owes and storms.

But through it all the dear old Gulp Stream will ever flow merrily on, dispensing Warmth, Good Cheer and Forgetfulness.

Some famous Tiedal waves have been:

• Brigham Young
• Venus
• Blue Beard
• Solomon
