STANDARD VARIETIES OF VEGETABLES 



hotbed facilities I would advise purchasing 

 plants from the gardener, who tries to supply 

 his customers with strong and healthy plants 

 very early in the season. Plants from seed 

 sown in the open ground will be so late in 

 ripening a crop, as a general thing, that they 

 will not afford satisfaction. Standard vari- 

 eties are Stone, very solid and firm-fleshed 

 and of fine quality, and Ponderosa, very 

 large, fine-flavored, and almost seedless.
