Speaking of long days-did you ever
think how much that has to do with
quick growth. Most things will ripen
from seed here in 80 days or less. But
those 80 days are each from one hour to
six hours longer than the days five hum

three or four hours of darkness each day
to sleep in.

easily the best colored troupe that has
