Clue/Question:  The plant-nursery owners were competitors until they found some – – –

Answer:  COMMON GROUND

(Would’ve work just as well with farmers, I suppose.  There were no new clue words today, however all four jumbles came up as new.  I was able to see all of the clue words immediately though.  My wife always gets a kick out of the movie Catch Me if You Can, when young Frank – posing as a doctor – asks the young interns:  “Do you concur?”  He had picked up that line by watching episodes of Ben Casey, on TV!  I myself got a kick out of the jumble for “dreamy”.  If you speak any Spanish you might have recognized “ymadre” as AND MOTHER.  The answer letter layout was also a marvelous jumble.  Not obvious.  Fine cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
