Wingham,. offering. some helpful hints on spring planting. Miss Nabrotzky said apartment dwellers and those with small acreages can have attractive gardens and enjoy fresh produce all year round. She suggested stringing up' any vegetables, which spread, such as peas, beans, cucumbers or tomatoes, to°conserve space. However she said that would not work for something like pumpkins. Growing vegetables and herbs together deters pests, she said, and suggested planting dill between carrots or garlic between cabbages to lessen the problem of nuisance bugs. Marigolds planted among vegetables also will deter pests. Miss Nabrotzky said she is a naturalist and prefers natural fertilizers, such as manure, or ashes, to chemi- cals. She cautioned against over-fertiliiing plants as it can retard their growth: Leah English thanked Miss Nabrotzky and present- ed her with a gift.
