The Home Garden 



A standard late variety is Country Gentle- 

 man. It is equal in quality to Sto well's Ever- 

 green, but does not remain in condition for 

 table use for so long a time as that variety 

 does. Because of this peculiarity, Sto well's 

 Evergreen is probably the most popular vari- 

 ety of corn ever grown. For flavor, tenderness, 

 and sugary sweetness it cannot be excelled, 

 and when we add to these merits its long-keep- 

 ing quality we have in it the ideal corn for 

 table use. If one can grow but one variety, 

 by all means let this be the one. 



Sto well's Evergreen is an excellent variety 

 for drying. When dried by exposure to the 

 sun, whose warmth seems to condense the 

 sweetness rather than dissipate it, this com 

 retains much of the delightful flavor which 

 characterizes it when fresh, and will be found 

 far superior to much canned corn. 



CUCUMBER 



This vegetable can be started in the hot- 

 bed to good advantage. I would advise mak- 

 ing little pots for it out of thick paper, about 

 the size of the ordinary teacup. Fill with rich, 

 light soil. Put four or five seeds in each pot.
