These signs may not mean that vou will be wiping the sweat from your brow next week, but nevertheless they are veiv definite indications that spring is approaching. Day dreaming about May breezes reminds one Jthat before too long it will be time to plant spring gardens. We have a large selection of garden seeds, grass seeds andJ fertilizer.
