Good Pickings
The new zinnias make a wonderful show and wonderful cutting, too. Now is the time to plan for a small "cutting garden" to supply the house and fill in your garden beds, too BY JOHN BRIMER HOW CAN you get enough flowers for the house without stripping the garden? And how do you achieve variety in a limited space without having a hatful of partly used seed packets leftover? You begin by making a New Year's resolution. Give Up Impulse Buying—picking up a packet of seeds here and several there, as you encounter them on seed racks, and probably ending up with flowers that are not good for cutting. In any case, they are likely to be so unrelated that if you use all the varieties you've bought, your garden will be a messy hodgepodge, and if you don't use them all your money will be wasted. No more of this. Instead, write immediately for the catalog of your favorite seed house so that you can thoughtfully and deliberately choose exactly what you want, and order in plenty of time to be ready for the first perfect planting day in early spring. Sit down with the catalog for an evening or two of dreaming and eye-feasting as you get rid all those impulses (without spending a dime!) by preparing a First List. Note down all the delectable offerings you'd like to grow; then, with your Second List — or you may even need to make a third—you'll winnow down your purchases to just what you can grow. All the way you'll have fun because we know of no escape literature which compares with a good seed catalog and no better way to become a knowledgeable cut-flower gardener.
