News flash in the Carnarvon range St David’s Day, March Ist. The secret of the green vales of Wales is out now your lawn can have the impeccable greenery of a Welsh valley. Just about now conditioners are good to kill weeds in your lawn. So we looked around for a hard hitting weed killer and came up with Yates’ Dicamba. Uncle Arthur Yates asked us if we knew it was discovered by David Harlech, the Welsh pasture improver and we confessed ignorance. David’s native valleys have owed their greenery as much to his discovery as to the bountiful rainfall. At that time communication in rural areas was harp to harp which restricted sales to Wales. Dai’s departure on an international sales trip is chronicled typically in song, “Dai Come Back,” which nlay well have inspired the trade name. Save $l.BB on Yates’ Dicamba Yates commented on the appropriateness of Dicamba for St David’s Day and filled up our shelves. So clear your lawn of weeds the easy way with Dicamba from Gardenway sometime soon. Usual price $5.86. Gardenway’s price $3.98. If we run short of Dicamba you can expect the same deal with Yates’ Turfix normally retailing $3.88, now $2.00. Cabbages growing by the Eisteddfodder method. You can cut a cabbage every day of the year without a song and dance in Christchurch We had a call from Rex .Mundy, our five star seedling grower, to advise us that County Green cabbage was ready for planting. You know, the one that has total frost resistance for cutting in winter; the best new hybrid cabbage to replace Golden Acre... Rex does know his cabbages. He thought it would be perfect for St David’s Day: Surely we must have heard of Eisteddfodder, the Welsh technique of musical cabbage growing. Instinctively we sensed the difficulty and expressed doubts that many of our customers would have the resources of a Welsh choir. Rex hastened to add that the climate in N.Z. is so much better and that Gardenway guarantee them! County Green $1.25 per pack He’s right of course. Plant them in March, as soon as you wish and we promise to refund cheerfully, on the spot if they fall short of your highest expectations. We’re confident County Green will be tops again for you this winter. So choir away.
