The seed catalogue is getting a
By Harry 5. Boyle
There's something about looking at all
those fantastic pictures of spreading;
green lawns and luxuriant plants of
every possible origin.
Here's the "Oriental Rug Peddler"
which spreads into a mass of purple
blooms that resembles a fog. My but it
looks beautiful. There's a Japanese
Smoke tree. I remember buying one
looked like a wild chokecherry tree.
My wife dreams over the catalogue
and can see the vision of a paradise
of trees and flowers spreading out
around our house.'
Oh well, it's nice to dream about
these things. They all go hand in
hand with spring, even if we do <now
in our hearts that the geraniums in
the plot surrounded by the white-
washed binder wheel will again con-
stitute the floral decorations for our
place.
The implement salesmen are getting
around again. That's another sign of
spring,. and one which was held tip
during the war when the boys didn't
have to get out and hustle. I had two
of them in last week. Old Toni Simp-
kins, the peddler who travels around
with an assortment of hog and cattle
tonics dropped by for dinner last
Tuesday. He has been at this business
for thirty-five years.
I have always. been ,curious as to
how he started it, but never felt like
asking him. Last week he told inc. It
seems that he was a travelling sales-
man with an excellent income at one
time. One day after several warnings
from the doctor, that worthy individ-
ual said flatly. "Give this up and get
out in the country or else Pll wager
you won't last over a year." Tom
took his advice and as he said, "I
haven't made much money at it. but
I've learned a lot about living and
people. Besides, I've had thirty-four
years now of what you might call bor-
rowed time."
Peter Woods walked out from the
village the other day. Peter has been
retired for a number of years. During
the spring and summer he likes to
take a weekly stroll out in the country
just to get the feel of it again. Last
week he came, ostensibly to get a doz-
en fresh eggs. think he actually
wanted to have dinner and chat for a
time. I like Peter and often during
the harvest time when I'm rushed he'll
conic along and help do the chores
for me.
'lite sound of the school children
playing in the yard at recess time is
ancther sign of spring. The way the
train sounds in the early evening as it
hauls a load up and out of the valley
is another sign. Finally, when you sit
down at night on the verandah and
take a listen, you can hear what my
grandfather always called the "sound
of things growing."
