s. •
DURING THE LAST FEW WEEKS of winter, "green
thumbs" from coast to coast are making lawn and garden
plans that will blossom with colorful rewards in the spring. To
help your hair spring out just as naturally—beauty experts at
Gillette suggest using Earth Born, the non=alkaline shampoo
and creme rinse and conditioner. Earth Born's natural chemi-
cal balance helps to keep hair healthy and shiny and leaves it
smelling garden fresh.
With warm weather just
around the corner, it's time
for "green thumbs" to draw
up lawn and garden plans
that can turn a winter-weary
home into the showpiece of
the block.
Whether you're a seasoned
gardener or an amateur
florist with a penchant for
plants, a little planning, a
touch of common sense and
a lot of T.L.C. can produce a
colorful blossom-harvest
without a lot of "growing
pains,"
To help you and, your lawn
prepare for the spring debut,
Gillette—makers of Earth
Born garden-fresh shampoos
and creme rinse and condi-
tioners--suggests you follow
these down-to-earth tips for
pre-spring garden planning:
• Get a jump on spring
planting by potting seeds of
flowering annuals--like
marigolds and petunias— in
clay pots indoors.
Later, when the ground
thaws,. transplant the seed-
lings into your outdoor gar-
den for a colorful array of
early spring blossoms.
• Take an inventory of
gardening tools and equip-
ment. Check to see that lawn
mowers and hedge trimmers
are in running order, and
check supplies of fertilizer
and pesticide so as not to du-
plicate on the first big buying
trip to the nursery.
• To begin nursing your
lawn to a thriving lush green,
mow grass down to a bare
half-inch height. This elimi-
nates dead and scorched
grass blades and makes way
for frdsh growth. Fertilize
the lawn as soon as the
ground thaws.
- • Make a diagram of
your intended vegetable
patch -taking care to es-
timate space needed for let-
tuce, corn, tomatoes and
other fresh salad ingredients
so as not to overcrowd the
crop,.
• Like plants that. need
extra care to blossom after
winter's chill, hair, too, needs
special attention to stave off
.the drying effects of the cold
weather season.
