Float Away and Give the Parent Plan:

It Is good for plants to keep as much
apart as possible. If the seed fell
straight to the ground, and the young
plants grew up together around the

when crowded too closely together, TALL

struggles are very bitter ones, though
we do not see or hear them. The plants
that are strongest in these silent bat
ties end by getting the light and air
and water and food they need from the
soil. while the poor wee klings are left
to starve and die. To prevent too much
of this wasteful crowding and strug-
