Pat be sure and notice the petunias in downtown Hermosa they have almost transformed the city! The city (Mr. Peterson) bought the seedlings at a discount and the members of our club have been nursing them to blooming stage and this morning they were placed under the trees. We hope they will look gay all Summer.
