On the basis of eighteen kinds, each of which shall be served forty 

 times during the year. At least one half of all produced, with the 

 exception of the root crops, is to be canned or dried for winter. 

 Production is to be kept up by close picking, which induces further 

 bearing. All vegetables (except parsnips and salsify, which re- 

 main in the ground to be frozen in order to bring them to their 

 full flavor) should always be picked before fully mature, to be at 

 their best. The length of rows given is of course approximate.
