COMMITTEE FROM GARDEN
CLUB ASK THAT NANDINAS
BE PLANTED ON SIDEWALKS
Asa committee from rhe Mimosa
Carden club appointed at the Febru
ary meeting, to sponsor a movement
to have residents of Jackson plant
nandinas on their sidewalks, we are
endeavoring to get this project be
fore the people of our town. Al
ready numbers of the beautiful
plants now adorn some ofthe side
walks, and their beauty appeals to
even the casual passer-by both in
summer and in winter.
These plants are very reasonable
in price and can now be bought as
low as one dollar per dozen, with the
larger plants selling anywhere from
fifteen to fifty cents apiece.
We would like so much to see
many Jackson sidewalks with these
lovely plants and ask the co-opera
tion of the citizens in this beautifica
tion movement.
