Would put 1t under cultivation.
Which we did at once, with avidity
Then we planted ali tho seeds ana

And put somo little sticks On the
ground,
And put the seed envelopes on the
sticks
To show Just where everything WAS
planted,
One can't remember those things.
you know,
That night there was u cute little
hurricane
Right off the wet part OF the At
lantic,
And all the little envelopes blew
away,
And now we can't tell whore the
beans are,
or tho succOtnsh, or anything.
And every sort of seed requires
A different sort of cultivation
We might wait till the things come
up,
But we wouldn't know, even then.
SO it looks like another season of
Brisk trade at tho corpcr green
