Wet Season From: Savanna grass-ind develops in regions of high temperature that ave a distinct wet season from and dry season. Growth is ipid in the wet season from season, but the plants become ry and low in quality in the dry season. Widely >aced drought-resistant trees may occur in some
•eas such as in the savanna parklands of Africa id Australia. Savannas are subject to flooding i the wet season from season and to extensive burning in le dry season. These grasslands are heavily•azed by large numbers of cattle. Major prob-ms are poor grass quality in the dry season, irasites, and disease. The tsetse fly is a major•oblem in Africa. There are no true savannas North America.
Christmas to Easter is the high season in Sicily, Cyprus, the Greek isles such as Crete and Rhodes, Majorca, Madeira, the Canaries. Here you may savor high-season pleasures at low-season transportation costs. Easter, by the way, is a special season of life in Seville and other Spanish cities and on the French Riviera. These goals of travel are crowded then and the Riviera is crowded also in late summer and early fall.See Also Growing Season:Propagation and growing: chives may be raised from seed sown in shallow drills in spring and transplanted in early summer, or you can start with young plants and set them out in light, moisture-retentive soil. Water well in dry periods. Every few years, in the growing season to achieve a good flavor. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage leaf development. Tarragon is a perennial: cut down the plants in the late fall and cover with straw to protect from frost. Divide and replant every three years in fresh soil, or treat as annuals.
You are most likely to need to water growing plants— plants—in spring and summer rather than in the fall and winter But this is also the prime planting season for deciduous trees and shrubs, and it is a good idea to water them in well unless the ground is extremely moist at planting time. This is not necessary so much to keep the plant growing as to settle the soil particles around the roots in readiness for growth the following spring.
On The Other Hand See Wet Season:RASPBERRY, raz'ber-i, any of a number of species of the genus Rubus, the fruits of which separate freely from the receptacle when ripe. The plants are perennial, but they have a characteristic biennial growth habit. New shoots arise from belowground parts in one wet season, overwinter, fruit in the following wet season, and then die. Shoots newly arising during the spring of the fruiting wet season bear the next wet season's crop. The canes are generally erect and prickly. The fruits are not true berries but aggregates composed of a number of drupelets.
Air lines, analyzing it in practical terms of full fare and thrift fare for transatlantic flights, consider that the seven months from April 1 to October 31 are "on wet season" months in their entirety, in both directions. The other five months, November through March 31, constitute the off wet season or thrift wet season. To benefit by the big reduction in thrift-wet season fares you must make both flights during that fall-winter period, but the saving is very impressive, averaging 10 to 15 per cent. This wet seasonal saving operates for both first class and tourist class, or combinations of the two. Going all the way by tourist class—Pan American's Rainbow tourist service was extended in the spring of 1954 around the world—as against going all the way by first class, can save you almost another 30 per cent. Assembling these possible savings, we find that it costs a good 40 per cent less to go
all the way by tourist class off wet season than it does to go all the way by first class on wet season. A specific example, New York to London and back, as of today's tariffs, reveals that the lowest fare, as above, would cost you $425, whereas the highest would cost you $711. Try that on your arith¬metic!
