THE WILDWOOD FLOWER Garden 1996 catalog is now available. Owner Thurman Maness has many unusual flowers and shrubs, including numerous colors of lobelia (cardinal flower) at reasonable prices.
The catalog warns readers, ``Mail order only - no visitors. I am a one-man operation with every minute well planned. No walk-in sales or sales on premises. Don't look me up. Don't track me down. Don't drop in. No surprise visits - mail order only.''
Send $1 and a stamped, self-addressed, business envelope to The Wildwood Flower Garden, 5233 U.S. 64 West, Pittsboro, N.C. 27312. His plants are great. GIVE PANSIES A BOOST
Remember that pansies have had just as hard a winter as you. Most in the ground look great now, but many in containers are suffering from the cold. No matter where yours are, give them some food by using a fertilizer such as Miracle Gro or a long-lasting organic fertilizer. This should keep them happy until hot weather does them in.
