Mid-Season Vegetables 



of poor germination, or, worse still, that comes 

 untrue to name, giving one inferior or mongrel 

 vegetables, offsets, many times, the amount saved 

 in money. 



String beans are the first form in which this 

 favorite vegetable appears on the table and a 

 very delicious and attractive dish they make when 

 such white wax or golden wax as Wardwell's 

 Kidney, Davis's Kidney Wax, Improved Golden 

 Wax are selected; well grown plants of these 

 varieties, well laden with their long, wax-like 

 pods are a joy to the gardener; and if the pods 

 are gathered as fast as the}'' mature, and this may 

 be done as soon as they whiten, up to the time they 

 are fully grown, when they will still be sweet and 

 tender, the bushes will continue to bear heavily 

 until cut down by the frost ; this should always be 

 done whether the beans are wanted for use or not ; 

 they can be canned, sold, or given away or fed to 

 the pig — anything rather than to check the vines' 

 bearing. If one wishes to save seed for the next 

 year's planting, and this is worth while when 

 such high prices prevail, it will be well to set aside
