This soil was very rich, the plants made rapid growth and the baby chicks did not disturb them, Kach time I gave the fowls fresh water I threw the stale water from the chickens' drink- ing receptacles on the plants. This added nothing to my work. The growing chickens were kept in this yard all summer and always sought the shade of the dahlias dur- ing the heat of the day. As the blooms faded I picked tifem off and threw them on the ground where the chicks devoured them greedily. Since dahlia tubers arc used for food in certain localities I knew the blooms could not harm Ihe fowls; in fact, I believe they are nourishing and beneficial. The hfStt year I increased my daiiiia planting, saving all of the tubers the first fall and buying some new ones in the spring. The result is that this chicken yard that form- erly had been far from attractive is now one of the show places on the premises; passersby stop to look at it. So many stopped and asked for bouquets that I put out a sign during the summer: "Fresh Kggs and Flow- ers, 2.') cents a dozen," Part <if the money made from the sale of the flo.vcrs two years ago ] was used to buy eggs from blooded |. blaze of illuminations and fireworks, the first rocket being sent up by the Queen herself from the roof of Buck- ingham Palace. ^^ lO^ SLA All grades Write for prices.
