that Mrs. Lolita Davis, SO, had COM

Good performance with the hoe

the skill of his troWel, as the golfing
expert is supreme in mashie Prov

The troWel unquestionably is the
most treasured tool of what may be
termed dirt gardener"-that is
one who knows and loves the feel
Of soil, rather than being content
with planning directing and dis
clrssing garden operations. The
trowel serves many purposes. Most
important, perhaps, is the use in
trans-planting. Fully half the aver
age vegetable garden, and more
than half in the case of flowers, is
composed Of plants that have been
moved from the place they started
with the assistance of trowel.
The trowel takes gardener down
on his or her knees; it makes him
familiar with the things he grows
and the soil they grow in; it is USE
full in the important job of thinning
out and in the finer points of culti-
waiting; 1t Is a tool that a gardener
always wants nearby, and it should
be a good one. Nothing is more
useless than trowel of poor ma
terial, which will bend or break at
the very time strength is most
needed. The expense Of a heavy
one OF steel may be spread over
many years OF faithful service.

Nearby towns, also in the local
