BOOK OF THE HOME GARDEN 



Carrots and beets planted late will not grow very 

 large, but they are plenty large enough to eat; 

 and if you have more than you can eat in a short 

 time they can be packed away in dry soil or sand 

 in a cool place and will keep all winter. Lettuce 

 and radishes will grow in the cool weather of fall 

 just as they do in the cool weather of spring; cab- 

 bage and Brussels sprouts do not mind frost at 

 all. In fact Brussels sprouts are better after they 

 have been frozen. Cabbage can remain in the gar- 

 den until the nights are very cold, or until we have 

 a black frost, then take them up and store away 

 where it is cool.
