Many performed well early in the sea son but faired poorly throughout July and August. Hundreds of pansy varieties are available this spring. Pansies are a natural in among the spring flowering bulbs. They also add color to the developing perennial bed. But to get the most from your plants try them planted in tubs or hanging baskets. They seem especially suited to those half baskets on a wall or fence. Best of all you can move them around to get the most enjoyment from their cheerful colors. Reg.

Like most plants they do best ip well prepared soil to which organic material such as shred ded leaves, compost or rotted manure has been added. Be sure to harden off for a few days if they have been grown in a greenhouse. Position about 6 to 9 inches apart. Be sure to plant at the depth they have been growing. Pansies grow from a crown which must be right at the soil surface. Care Remove the spent flowers before they form seeds so the plant can use its energy to form more blooms instead of seeds. If the plant starts to become leggy pinch them back. Keep soil moist by watering deeply when necessary. Never let the plants dry out! Feed with a water soluble fer tilizer if the leaves become pale or yellow and flower production declines. Container grown plants need to be fed with a dilute solution of fertilizer at each watering, (about 1/4 strength of label directions) TWIN/DOUBLB FUTON BUNK BED Trailer Load • Dealer Refusal with 8’ Futon Mattress Red ■ Black - White Reg.

More than 30 years ago, the Kimberton 4-H Sewing Club began teaching young people to sew at the Grange Building in Kimberton. For about seven years, the club has been meeting at the Kimberton Fire House. The children and their parents met for 14 weeks in the early spring, to sew individual pro jects. They culminate in June with a county-wide 4-H Fashion Revue. Winners of Fashion Revue go on to compete in regional and state competitions. Kimberton Sewing Club encourages new members. If you are 8-18 years old and want to learn to sew or to enhance your sewing skills, contact Toni Stuetz at the Chester County 4- H office. 4-H is open to all chil dren aged 8-18 and has opportu nities to gather and learn many different skills from sewing to sheep shearing to photography and more.
