HOW TO CHOOSE SEEDS 



Watermelons are round and oval, very dark 

 green, light green, striped and splotched on the 

 outside while the inside varies from pale yellow to 

 rich red. All melons like plenty of humus in the 

 soil, and lots of sunshine. 



Parsley is so pretty we can grow it in either our 

 vegetable or flower garden (remember, it takes 21 

 days for the tiny seeds to germinate, so be patient) . 



If you are fond of Peppers they are one of the 

 prettiest plants you can raise. Sweet peppers ripen 

 red or yellow but we usually eat them while they are 

 still green. Do not raise any variety except the 

 "sweet" peppers for the "hot" ones may cause you 

 trouble; if you should handle them and then rub 

 your eyes, you would wish that they were not in your 

 garden. 



Tomatoes come in so many different varieties 

 they are really bewildering. They grow into tall 

 vines, or make dwarf bushes; are red, yellow, and 

 peach colored; and are every size from a grape to 

 a large apple. There are also very early varieties 

 and late ones. I would advise you to plant a late 

 variety in your seed boxes and choose one that does 

 not climb. If you wish some little yellow ones to 

 preserve, the "plum" or "egg" variety is the best for 

 that purpose, unless you like the "husk" tomato,
