A SURPRISING AMOUNT OF GARDEN SEEDS SOLD Many People In Dare County Planting Gardens This Year; High Living Cost May Cause It While all the little fields, just about, have disappeared from Ro anoke Island, one would think there would be no sale for seeds and fertilizer. But such is not the case. A surprising amount of gar den seeds and fertilizer is being sold, right here in Manteo by G. G. Bonner of General Supply Company. And all through Dare County people are planting gar dens. Anent this subject, the fol lowing news release is interesting: Washington.—As a harbinger of spring, the ground hog, robin and first crocus each has its advocates. But to many people there’s no more enticing promise of spring than simple garden seed. Since dreary January, garden ers have been thumbing through their seed catalogues where, as one helplessly addicted reader ad mits, “all melons are monsters, all asters are giant, all petunias double-fringed.” The magic of the dreambooks dissolves all memory of past failures. And hope for this year’s gardens rises like sap in the trees. For their 1956 gardens, an esti mated 30,000,000 Americans will buy flower seeds and about half as many, vegetable says the National Geographic Society. Seed sales have never been better. One large mail order company alone puts out as many as 1,500 varie ties. Another company, which sells through racks in stores, offers 1,100. One of its most loyal cus tomers, an elderly lady who trades at a Philadelphia department* store, arrives with her chauffeur each spring and buys one packet of every single variety. Vegetables, Beware! Not all buyers are so easily per suaded. Most are especially wary of new vegetables. One catalogue once devoted a whole page in praise of a newly developed vege table called tampala. A Chinese import, it resembled spinach but withstood heat better and didn’t collect sand. Now, a decade later, tampala is relegated to a back page mention and good old sandy spinach holds down its traditional place in the book. Even yellow sweet corn had to be given away at first. People wouldn’t buy anything that looked like “horse corn.” Broccoli also had a hard time catching on. Since 1940, however, its sales have tripled. Such success augurs well for purple cauliflower, an old vegetable now being revived. It turns green when cooked and tastes like broccoli. Nationwide, the best seller con tinues to be the radish, followed in order by lettuce, beets and cu cumbers. Gardeners’ tastes vary enough according to tradition and geography, however, that one company sends its seeds to stores in special assortments. Northern states get such quick-growers as carrots, beets, lettuce and radishes. The S (South) assortment features white radishes, collards, okra, tur nips and mustard greens. Calls for the S assortment have recently been increasing in the north. In fact, the only assortment for which demand remains stolidly predictable-is the E—New Eng land. Except in Boston, where the I. V. (Italian) special cuts across geographic lines, New Englanders can still be counted on to want their pole beans, early corn and winter squash. Zinnias are No. 1 In flowers, tastes are more uni versal. Zinnias are the favorites; petunias, nasturtiums and sweet peas, the runners-up. Petunias produce seeds so mi nute that some of the more ex pensive hybrid varieties are worth many times over their weight in gold.

To enlarge tiny seeds—to make them easier to plant and to elimi nate thinning and transplanting— growers nowadays often coat them with clay, mixed with fertilizers and pesticides. One West Coast grower even dyes the clay-coat the color of the prospective flower.
