raise corn, peas (except the earliest), cucumbers,

"I always plant flowers that bloom for the longest 

 period, e. g.; zinnias (always Dwarf Fireball), 

 because they make a gorgeous show of red from 

 June till frost and stand our dry summer weather. 



"March 6 the first planting was done. Pon- 

 derosa and Freedom tomato seeds were sown in a 

 box filled with earth saved in the cellar. A week 

 later, rhubarb, hollyhocks, and tulips showed signs 

 of life outdoors.
