Summarize the following:
Write in print rather than cursive if you’re writing the return address by hand. Using all capital letters will prevent the mail service from misreading the address and returning the package or letter to the wrong place. Cursive may confuse some postal workers and cause them to return the letter to the wrong place. If you’re using a label or printing the return address out, use at least size 10 font. If you can, make the address even larger if it fits on the label or envelope. Don't use a font that's hard to read when writing the return address. Priority mail requires that you include a return address. Priority mail also comes with its own benefits, like being able to track the package.

summary: Use large, capital letters if you’re writing the letter by hand. Use a simple, size 10 font if you’re typing the return address. Use a return address when sending something via priority mail.

In order to keep your hydrangeas blooming in blue, elemental sulfur should be sprinkled over the soil around the shrub to lower the pH to below 5.5. The exact amount of elemental sulfur required will vary, depending on the soil type and how much the pH needs to be adjusted.  Loam or silt loam soil will require a ¾ pound of elemental sulfur to lower the soil pH in a 25 square foot area by one unit. In other words, it will take ¾ pound to lower the pH from 6 to 5. Sandy or sandy loam soil, on the other hand, will require less than ¼ pound of elemental sulfur to lower the pH by one. Start sprinkling the elemental sulfur about 2 feet (0.6 m) beyond the shrub drip line or outer edge of the shrub. Spread it evenly over the soil up to about 4 to 6 inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm) away from the stems. This is the area where most of the roots grow and absorb water and nutrients. Use a small hand rake to mix the elemental sulfur into the top 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of soil, then water the area generously to help wash the sulfur into the soil. The elemental sulfur will probably need to be re-applied from time to time in order to keep the blue hydrangea blue. To plant hydrangeas into a garden with alkaline soil and still get a blue flower, you will need to incorporate plenty of acidic compost and aluminum sulfate into the ground when planting and continue with regular applications over the lifetime of the plant.  You can buy acidic compost at the gardening center - it is usually labeled as "ericaceous". Aluminum sulfate is available as a powder from garden centers or online outlets. It's often labeled as ‘blue hydrangea powder'. Be careful not to apply the powder directly to the root of a plant, as it will scorch the tissue. Instead, add one tablespoon of aluminum sulfate to one gallon of water and use this solution to water fully-matured hydrangeas throughout the growing season. Don't be tempted to apply a stronger concentration as this can burn the roots. All hydrangeas benefit from fertilization. To produce or maintain blue flowers on a hydrangea bush, use a fertilizer that is low in phosphorus and high in potassium.  This fertilizer may be labeled as an appropriate fertilizer for azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons.  Avoid using fertilizers such as bone meal, as this will make the soil more alkaline, undoing all of your hard work. If you don't fancy using chemicals in your garden, an application of certain organic matters such as grass clippings, fruit, and vegetable scraps or used coffee grounds can turn the soil mildly acidic.  Used coffee grounds are particularly effective, just make sure that they have cooled completely before working them into the soil around the base of your plant.  You can also incorporate coffee grounds into the soil when planting a new hydrangea shrub – perhaps ask your local café if you can take some away, they are usually happy to oblige. Keep in mind that organic matter changes the acidity of your soil more slowly than chemical powders and fertilizers, so you'll need to be patient if you decide to go down this route. Try to use rainwater (rather than tap water) to water your hydrangeas. If you use a hard tap water on your blue hydrangeas, this will counteract the soil acidity and the flowers will gradually turn pink. For information on how to collect rainwater, see this article. Rather than attempting to change the acidity of the soil in your garden, it may be easier to just plant new hydrangea bushes in a pot containing acidic ("ericaceous") soil. You can encourage a blue bloom even further by watering your potted hydrangea with an aluminum sulfate solution, as described above.

summary: Sprinkle elemental sulfur over the soil. Use acidic compost and aluminum sulfate powder. Apply a fertilizer that is low in phosphorus and high in potassium. Use organic matter to increase the acidity of the soil. Water your hydrangeas with rainwater. Consider growing your hydrangeas in a separate pot.

Get a good grip on the card so you can hold it in place when it comes time to use the sleight of hand that makes it appear to vanish. Use your thumb and middle finger to grip about 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) from the bottom edge of the card. Hold the card firmly, but not so tight that it looks rigid and doesn’t move.
summary: Hold the card between your thumb and middle finger.
