Wildflowers
by Robert Byerley
| Every
March, when I was growing up, we would turn to the back page of a comic
book and snip out the advertisement that promised quick cash for the
summer. We would send our seventy five cents to the L. L. May Company
for a box of assorted premium garden seeds. In two weeks, when our
package arrived, we were set up for business. My cousin and I would
mount our display box on our wagon, put on our best summer dresses and
venture out into our neighborhood. We would sell flower and vegetable
seeds door to door. It was hard work but it was well worth our efforts
when we got to thumb through the L. L. May prize book at the end of the
day.
