You can save considerable garden money and add new zest to your gardening :
by growing your own perennial flowers from seed. The best quality seeds cost :
only a few cents a packet and with simple care will produce scores of plants to J
bring color and beauty to the garden for years to come. Most perennials grown :
from seed bloom the second year after sowing.
Seed should be started at about the ---------------------------

as zinnias and marigolds. The secret

A seed bed can be easily prepared by

one cozy wintry evening I an- |
nounced to the Man of the House 1
that my dream home was ready—
on paper—from doorknobs to book |
alcoves. Naturally, I agreed mag-
nanimously, plans were subject to |
extensive alterations to suit his |
pleasure. Well. The cad took a
quick look and guffawed!
It appears you can’t have run- |
ning water where you want it with- I
out pipes. But, you can have water |
where you don't want it unless you
have such unromantic-sounding !
things as gutters, downspouts and
flashings. The first two "things",
my spouse informed me, conduct
water from the roof while flashings
prevent leakage at joints such as
where the roof meets the chimney.
To top off my chagrin, the Ever
Wise produced booklets, pamphlets
and the summary of a talk he had
had with an architect friend, all
concerning safeguarding the home
with copper and brass.
Patiently he explained that cop-
per tube and red brass pipe are
sturdy, rust-free and resistant to
corrosion. "So?" I asked, still a
little hurt. "Look", says he. "good
brass and copper plumbing will
deliver rust-free water for more
years than you can think about.
Furthermore, when about 50 tons
of water fall on the average roof
every year, the gutters and down-
spouts have to be good The best

I was pleased as wedding punch
to know he had carefully planned
for our future home—and told him
So But no matter what anyone |
says, leave it to a man to have the
last word I was just drifting off to
sweet dreams when he brought
forth the clincher "And another
thing—copper piping that brought
water to Egyptian Pharoahs more
than 5,500 years ago can still con-
vey water!"

THE JOB
Good railroad service
doesn't just happen!
GREAT and enduring things sel-
dom happen by chance. Only
through vision and planned action
does man discover new and better
ways to serve.
In pursuit of this policy. Southern
Pacific maintains a constant program
of expansion and improvement,
seeking new ways to better our serv-
ices to travelers and shippers.
As part of the plan to speed trains
smoothly and safely over its 15,000
miles of railways between the Gulf
Coast and the Pacific Coast, South-
ern Pacific has invested many mil-
lions of dollars in improving tracks
and roadbeds. Heavier rail has been
laid, stronger bridges constructed,
grades reduced, curvatures eased,
terminals enlarged and passing
tracks extended. Special test cars,
equipped with the latest types of
scientific instruments, maintain a
constant watch over rails, searching
for possible flaws. Southern Pacific
has its own research laboratory to
test the performance of its equip-
ment and materials.
Sweeping improvements in freight
and passenger services have been
made since the war. In freight serv-
ice, fast overnight merchandise
trains were restored, and fast pre-
war schedules for transcontinental
freight shipments were resumed to
cut a full day from cross-country
runs. Thousands of new freight cars
have been ordered and SP shops are
working night and day to restore
worn equipment to service.
Passenger schedules on all principal
routes have been drastically short-
ened and services improved to give
greater comfort and safety to our
travelers. Many of Southern Pacific’s
transcontinental limiteds are now
running on the fastest schedules in
their history.
These are but a few of the many ac-
complishments of Southern Pacific's
men and women who are determ-
ined to afford their customers the
finest in rail transportation. To fulfill
our obligation to the growing terri-
tory we serve, we pledge our con-
tinued program of progressiveness.
